[QUOTE="RED3, post: 6906349, member: 610788"] The main power cable that runs from the battery back to the amp SHOULD have a fuse w/in 18" of the battery/power wire connection. disconnect the negative wire from the car battery, then you should be able to take the fuse holder in the power wire apart to check the fuse. If it looks smoked, burnt, or the metal that is inside the plastic case is seperated/cracked/broken, the fuse did it's job. But you need to determine WHY the fuse blew as well. Take the blown/bad fuse with you and get the same size (amperage) &shape. fuses don't blow w/o a reason so you need to find out what caused it, whether it be a bad ground, a short somewhere, the protective coating on a wire rubbed off or nicked, etc. and touching metal, causing the short.
