[QUOTE="hazardous0388, post: 3052142, member: 570425"] actually the fuse by the battery was 100, and the fuses in the amp equal 120. If the amp is AT ITS FULL POTENTIAL, the fuse up by the battery would blow because too much current flow. This could have caused the fuses in the amp to bust to SAVE THE AMP and then the fuse on the POWER WIRE to go. Very easily to have been done. And secondly, A TOO LOW impedance load would not blow ALL the fuses on the amp, or the fuse up near the battery. It would just cause the amp to go into protect mode. Then when he turns off the amp and turns it back on , via his cd player, it would work again and go into protect mode again, IF the amp was that touchy and doesnt give leeway on impedance loads. I highly doubt that its from a low impedance load considering viper has always been a decent brand for its time. [/QUOTE]
