Dead Short?

Well I was seeing if my Orion would power on today and i hooked the power ground remote and rca's up, but not the speakers..

At first there were two 15 amp fuses in the fuse holders on the amp, and right when i powered it up those two popped.

So then i went and put two 30 amps in there, and when it powered up the fuse in the fuse holder near the batterie (also 30) popped, i did this three more times annd it popped every time

My dad says it migth be a dead short, but I dont know what do you guys think?

Quick response needed.

For one you NEVER put in a larger fuse if the correct fuse "pops" you find the reasoning for it.

I woudl say ther eis something definatly wrong with the amp inside if it is doing this (dead short is a good idea too)

those arent the correct fuses for it though, it says in the manual

Sounds like a problem in the amp for sure. You may as well open it up and see if you see any obvious damage.
