fuse problem

[Crzy 10+ year member]

ok on my kenwood 8101d i changed from 4 ohm load to 1 ohm. worked awesom then cut off. thoguht battery might be dying since i was just idling, so i turned car off and charged it. then played system again and it cut off permenatly. was like ****it what now. took amp out and apart thinking i blew it since light wasnt even coming on. turns out the 40 amp fuse on it blew (little bar ones in side) what should i replace it with so it doesnt blow a gain in 5 or 10 minuts //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

i'd have to say get a different amp if 1 ohm is what you want. looks like a crappy design with a 40 amp fuse. if it was really 1 ohm stable it would need like 80 amps give or take worth of fuses. http://www.zalmar.com/detail-CarElectronics-Kenwood-KAC_8101D.htm

My friend had a Kenwood amp that said it was one ohm stable. But it turns out that it couldnt handle it. And he ended up blowing it

replace the fuses with higher rated ones:yumyum: then see if it blows them or the amp.//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif
