[QUOTE="hispls, post: 8618797, member: 614752"] Sounds like you blew up your amp. Dead shorting speaker outs will do that a lot of the time (if you don't get lucky with the protection circuit kicking in). Your fuse probably didn't open because it's way too big and of course the damage to semiconductors is done in a fraction of a second where even the proper size fuse may or may not be fast enough. Typically if you never open a fuse when you play music hard now and then it's not going to ever protect your amp from being hurt. [/QUOTE]
