Need Help!

Today I was riding to work and my subs stopped playing. I checked the fuse before my sub amp and it was blown. I have a 250 amp fuse before my sub amp. What could have caused this fuse to blow? My gain is about is at about 11 o'clock, no bass boost at all. I can easily replace the fuse but I want to find out why it blew first. I believe this amp requires a 200 amp fuse, an amp wont blow a fuse if its bigger than the one required will it? Help!

The wire is obviously drawing more than 250 amps of current if the fuse blew.

or, you could have a short somewhere, double check all power/ground connections.

Did you do what he said yet?

Either your amp is blown and it's shorting out etc, or the wire is grounding out.
