Sundown Saz-1500D blowing fuses

[Oldbass38 10+ year member]

Well....My amp has worked fine since March...However, today it decided to start blowing its fuses....I took the original fuses out and they looked as though they had gotten really hot. The plastic casing on a few of them was swolen.....So, I checked all my wiring, nothing was shorted or loose....I then unhooked my subs in case one/both was causing this problem...Then I put in a fresh set up fuses and they popped almost immediately..So that eliminated my subs being the cause..So there is obviously something internal that is causing this....Has anyone who owns this amp encountered this same problem?? I'll be sending it to db-r but was curious if anyone has experienced this and what was the cause....

Is there any loose strands of power wire touching the ground on the terminals. Sounds like it might be grounding out? Idk thats wierd.

Nope....It was secure and no strands were touching...

Yeah, it's been great for me....Whenever you're ready to get another, go to http://www.db-r.com and get a refurbished one....They have a warranty and are a good bit cheaper in price....That's where I got mine.

If an internal part is broken and shorting it will blow fuses like that. Probably need some new parts - Chris can fix a 1500D in no time //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Did it go out playing music or when you turned car on?
