Hey, need alittle help but heres my set up. 2003 chevy impala, 2 kicker l5s with older rockford bd1500.1 amp with 4ga wire and 80 amp fuse and a PAC lineout converter. The problem is I keep blowing the 80 amp fuse on the power wire when I turn the volume up loud. Does fine with only one of the l5s hooked to it but with both hooked up blows it everytime.

Thanks for any help!

Also it really needs a quality 1/0 wiring as well...4ga power wire is too small for 1700+rms

probably does need a bigger fuse. How's the ground?

Oh my bad forgot, 12 inch l5s, I was thinking it could use bigger wire, a guy at a local audio shop said maybe one of the subs could be going bad causing the fuse to blow when it hits hard?

Ground looks good, just had it the wires installed at bestbuy
