I have had my amp for about 7 years now (JL 500/1) and recently the power wire fuse keeps blowing. I put the amp under the passenger seat and I figured one of my passengers shoes got it wet. I took out the amp, took it apart and had it inside for a week by my heater. I also noticed some blue gel looking stuff all round where the power, ground and signal wires go in on the inside of the amp. I cleaned that all out, dried the amp but the fuse still blows. I am using a 40A fuse. The fuse blows with the ACC on or off. I disconnected the power wire from the amp and put a new fuse in and it didn't blow. Nothing else on the inside of the amp looks bad at all. The only thing I can think of is to put a bigger fuse in and see what happens. Can anyone please help?! Thank You...

I think you will be just fine to be honest. Id run it and check it after hammering on it quite a bit and check the temp on the wire by hand to see...

If you have multiple amps you do not need to run a power wire from each amp to battery.. You can have a single run of wire with a distribution...
