[QUOTE="headless, post: 1661047, member: 566363"] There's a short somewhere. Does it happen without the amplifier connected and with the ends of the wires well insulated? Could be internal to the amplifier. 1. Unplug power from amp and insulate the exposed ends. Then hook up + wire to batt (ground is not important in this step). Insert fuse. If fuse blows, you have a short in the power wire between the amp and the battery. (amp and the fuse, actually, to be precise) If fuse does not blow, yank the fuse, then... 2. Plug power into amp, unhook speakers from amp. Insert fuse. If fuse blows, you have a ****ed up amplifier.. If fuse does not blow..., yank the fuse, then... 3. Hook up speaker. Insert fuse. If fuse blows, your speaker is ****ed. [/QUOTE]
