[QUOTE="bugflipper, post: 7190760, member: 621756"] Your gain may also be set too high. Could be throwing the amp into protect mode due to it overheating. As for the blown fuse again, could have been the gain being too high depends on how many amps the fuse was. Or the power wire could have been nicked where it enters the body. You need a rubber grommet there to protect the wire insulation from the metal if there is not one already. The power and ground wire should be about the size of your little finger if you don't know what gauges are. I really don't know when sony took a dive, but my nephew was running some older xplod gear last year and it honestly didn't sound as bad as I thought it was going to once it was dialed in. But I did build him a good box for the subs. The voltage was already covered, but can mean eventually blown amp as can the gain setting mentioned above, along with blown subs. So make sure you take care of it. [/QUOTE]
