[QUOTE="06legacy, post: 8414546, member: 666970"] So I've had a Kenwood 1200W 4 channel running all my component speakers for about 2 years. Using a clarion vx401 head unit idk if that matters. Recently decided I needed bass in my life, so I bought a Rockford Fosgate Prime R2501D amp and 2 rockford r2 10 inch subs. The kenwood doesnt have outputs so i ran my 4 gauge power wire through a distribution block and my 4 gauge ground wire through a distribution block, splitting both the power and ground wires into two 8 gauge wires, and spliced the rem wires together. then I hooked up the rockford amp and the subs and it worked, until i turned the volume above a normalish volume, probably just about half of what my speakers can do, and the subs instantly stopped working. come to find out that the 25amp fuse blew. checked all connections, made sure no wires were touching, and put a new fuse in. once again same thing happened. tried one more fuse and the same thing happened again... please help im tired of buying fuses!
