Blowing Fuses

[ClemonsD465 10+ year member]

I am blowing the two fuses on my amp it is a 600 Watt PPI, I replaced the speaker wire going to the sub, the RCA cables, inspected the Remote, Power, and Ground cable, still doing the same thing. Just started happening today, had been doing fine. Subs work fine for a few seconds then the AMP blows the two fuses on it, anybody know what is going on.

Likely either the speakers are blown andshorting internally or more likely, the amp has deperted the mortal coil. Probably a blown output device or other component in the amp.

Does the amp come on at all before blowing fuses? If the amp powers up with no speakers connected it would be something with the speakers (either bad or to low impedance). If the amp still blows fuses with out anything connected to the output - the amp requires servicing.

No the amp comes on fine, just blows fuses, after a few seconds. Hooked it up to another sub, worked fine. I think I have found my problem with the sub, I am guessing, seams to be blown took it out of the box, and it had a burnt smell too it. The grounding wire had come unhooked inside of the box, maybe that was too blame for it, tryed it out again, still did the same thing in blowing the fuses.
