That plain 'ol sucks!

Ya gotta have a short somewhere.

Sounds like you have a "deep fried" amp now.

if you have a warranty, i'd send it back. it may have had an internal ground or leaky caps.

did you put an inline fuse withing 3 ft of your battery on the power wire? and how many amps are the fuses on your amp?

the fuse is within 3 feet of the battery and there is 2 fuses on the amp which are 60 amps apiece

80 amps

well i think that should be at least 150 amps but did any of your fuses burn up or are they all intact?

Are there any other amps in the system? Are they still working?

i had a hifonics 1500..it worked fine for about 3 weeks of use, then one day i turned my car on and it did the same thing. Sounds like the amp was just a POS. Sorry dude. sucks to be u.
