Blown Fuses?

[THXdts 10+ year member]

So I was working on my truck this afternoon and being an idiot, a part where I spliced my 4 gauge wires together hit part of be seat bracket, and made a pop sound. I thought it was my remote wire acting up becasue I was just messing with it. I look under my hood, and the tube looking fuse is blown. It blew one of the end cap things off. And the fuse in my amp looks kinda blown, I am not to sure. Where can I get fuses at?

I assume the "tube looking" fuse is an AGU...local audio shops usually stock them.

This is yet another reminder to...

DISCONNECT NEGATIVE TERMINAL BEFORE DOING ANY WORK IN THE VEHICLE.

Do you think it ****ed up anything?

If it took the fuse out, probably not...

You may have blown the mosfet's fleux capacitors. They are linked to the fuses and can go easily when you short something out. It also probly took out the continum transfuctioner too when the cap blew.

I guess you wont really know what happened to the amp unless you get the fuses and hook it all back up. Make sure you disconnect the negative battery wire next time you even think of messing with any type of wire that has power to it.

Parts Express ran out of continuum transfunctioners...right when I needed them...

I tried a few different hardware stores, and none of them had the 80A fuse.
