What in the WORLD is wrong with my AMP!!!!!!!!!!!

Is it an AGU fuse? It might have become de-solderd
yes it is an AGU FUSE! I got it off of a guy for free, he just had it laying around...I do have an unopened amp kit laying around that has a 50 amp fuse and fuse holder but its for a 680 watt amp...my amp is 1280 watts, but the rms is like 100 watts x 4 at 4 ohms...im hesitant to use this amp kit...what do u think? the wire guage is 8

 
A good general fuse rating is

Rms it will be pushing x #of channels running / 10.

For example a two channel amp that pushes 250 rms to each channel should be fused at 50a

In your example. 100rms x4=400/10= 40. So a 40 amp fuse should do in most situations. Now some amps are more efficient, but as a general rule of thumb this should work

 
well the new 50 amp fuse wouldn't fit in the 4 guage wire so i just rewired with the new amp kit (8 guage) and now the thing is BACK TO LIFE!!! must have been the power wire. THANKS EVERYONE FOR THE HELP!!!
