[QUOTE="adulbrich, post: 8429074, member: 661255"] It was blowing fuses for a reason. The manufacturer picked the fuse ratings based on current tolerance of internal components. They are protecting the amplifier. There is an underlying issue that is causing it to blow the fuses. Because you say it happens when you turn it up, I would assume it is either heavily clipping or there is a bad electrical connection that is causing the amp to draw more current than it should. If you put in larger fuses and the amp pulls the same amount of current, instead of fuses blowing, your amp will. [/QUOTE]
