Blowing Fuses

[Nailz Dot Net]

Ok I've had this problem and cant seem to fix it.

I'm running a 700s Rockford amp to two dual voice coil HX2 Rockford subs. I laso have a Rockford headunit. I think its the RFX9300.

The deck's volume goes up to 30, but if I turn it up around 15 or 16 the amp fuse blows.

I have no idea what can casue this. Is it just too much power going to the amp? I've traced the power wire all the way through and it is not exposed or hitting any metal.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Jesse

my guess is you have the subs wired @ 2 ohms and the amp is bridged.

whats the fuse rated at? maybe its too small. is it the inline fuse that blows or the fuses on the amp?

very smart guess...

and its the inline fuse.. 60 amp fuse... its the right size

take the fuse rating of all your amps and get the same size up front on your inline. i had the same problem a while ago.

mine was blowing every 2 seconds, untill i eventually melted a foot of wire and my whole fuse casing.
