WRONG. Never increase a fuse size because you are blowing them.

lol yea, i checked to make sure its not grounded which its not and i even replaced the wire, it still blows the fuse, do you think i have to run two seprate remote wires? or is it possiable the amp is bad?

or what if maybay about a inline fuse at the amp

where you running the second rem from? Did you try running it from amp 1 to amp 2? If so, that stock HU may need a relay on the rem. Or it could be something totally diffrent. Does the stock HU have rcas? or are you using a lOC? Or somthing like JL cleensweep? But check the rem for shorts .

well i have had it setup as the rem wire from the acc wire to amp 1 and from amp 1 to amp 2. it worked for awhile i don't see why all of a sudden it would start popping fuses

i prefer poppin bottles but good luck fixin it

well sounds likely to be in the rcas to that amp shorting out. if you jump the PT amp rem to the PT amp power, does it still pop the fuse? if so, check the rcas.

stupid questsion whats pt?

 

[dmullins7890 10+ year member]

Fail. PT is the name of your amp PT=Performance Tekniqe

switch the rca's around and see if it still does it1!

 

[873stang 10+ year member]

i feel stupid lol duh! lol but ok now if i did that wouldn't i be testing the fues on the amp itself? cause the fuse that blows is the factory radio fuse
