[QUOTE="jedwards83, post: 8687210, member: 634244"] The amp has blown outputs from what you describe. When the output transistors blow they usually short which sends full power to whatever is hooked to it, essentially creating a short circuit. This causes the fuses to blow which protects the amp power supply from blowing up as well. You're looking at a pretty substantial repair which will likely exceed the cost of the amp itself. Blown outputs are usually caused by overdriving the amp or substantial overheating, usually indicating that you don't have enough amp for the subs you are running, or you're trying to play too loud for the system you have. I'd replace the amp with something at least 600W/RMS that will do rated power. Or consider getting another sub so that you don't have to drive the system as hard to attain the volume you're looking for. [/QUOTE]
