[QUOTE="Tyrant924, post: 964374, member: 561695"] I had my setup hooked up for a long time and then it just stopped working. So I tried to reset the amp and it made a popping noise and started smoking. So that amp was toast. So, I bought a new amp... Took out all the power wire and looked it over. It looked fine, took the ground lead off it looked fine as well. Made sure all the leads were secure and nothing was going to short circut hooked it all up touched the neg lead up to the battery and heard the same popping noise. This time it was just the fuses on the amp that blew so I can replace those. But the inline fuse did not blow. (BTW, it was an 80A fuse... I didn't know that until I opened it up and looked at it so I am going to drop down to a 50A or 40A) Does anyone understand what is going on? There are no frays in the any of the lines and I can't find anything that would be grounding out. I was thinking of just getting a new 50A or 40A inline fuse and a new 4AWG power wire. Any suggestions? [/QUOTE]
