[QUOTE="RT Arnie, post: 774347, member: 549584"] Hi everyone. I'm somewhat new to this board. First off, I'm pretty sure i blew my amp. It is a Rockford Fosgate 500db, Mono i believe. I have 2 Kicker Solobarics L7s powered by this amp. I had this set up for a few months, and about once a week my fuse under the hood would blow. The installers used a cheap regular fusing as opposed to a glass fuse. So after replacing that dumb 40 fuse a crapload of times, they put a glass one in. So last week I was hitting pretty hard , than all of a sudden nothing.. What the heck happened? Too much power coming from that amp? If my fuse kept blowing before, why? Did my amp blow because i put a higher fuse that maybe wasn't supposed to be in there? Was it running at 1 Ohm? I know that amp isn't 1 ohm stable.. was that why it blew? i don't know if I was running parallel or series.. My subs are 4 ohm if that means anything.. I'm pretty new with the install process. Any help is much appreciated. Thanks. [/QUOTE]
