[QUOTE="yogegoy, post: 8236875, member: 659113"] When I have thing I want to tinker on without having any idea why it's acting up, I usually open it up, take the before picts, do a visual with a bright fluorescent through a watch makers eye piece and use my air compressor to blow any debris that's not soldered or screwed on the amp for that matter. You would be surprised the a strand of wire from the last time you worked on trimming a wire could have fallen in it or something causing a short which turns out to be a piece of chrome that chipped off from it's platting. From Basic Car Audio Electronics: [B]If you have a piece of equipment (especially an amplifier) that has played fine for a while with a given size fuse and the fuse blows, do not replace it with a larger fuse. I'd actually suggest temporarily replacing it with a fuse ~1/2 the rating of the one that blew. If you have a 200 watt amplifier that's been running fine with a 30 amp fuse and the fuse suddenly blows, replacing it with another 30 amp fuse is fine but I'd suggest trying a 15 amp fuse first. With the volume set to its minimum position, the amp should power up and idle with the smaller (lower rated) fuse. It should also play cleanly at a low to moderate volume. If the fuse blows with no volume, there is very likely a problem with the amplifier. If it does not play cleanly, there may be a problem with the speaker(s) or wiring.
