how could my amp be messed up just by playing it for 20 minutes it just cuts out, so maybe it is the fuses but dont know until i check

how do u prevent from blowing fuses besides keeping the gain low

figure out why the fuse blew before you turn it back on.. might be a wire touching or something..

i wouldnt get bigger fuses for your amp. maybe if it was in ur distro, but not for ur amp itself... i think that can blow it.

i would just buy 2 new 60amp wafer fuses.. are they even blown?

i dunno if they r blown i havent checked yet, just cant believe that something could go wrong that fast, i mean i just hooked it up today and like 30 minutes later after bumping it turns off
