why do my FUSE keep getting blown????

[jamezruiz 10+ year member]

okay so i got a KENWOOD KAC-9104D 1800watt max 900rms. 500RMS at 4ohm, 900rms at 2ohm and 900rms regulated at 1ohm.

i hooked it up and it blows fusses like crazy, and it cuts off sometimes.

i have 2 Pioneer Premier TS-W1207D

12" 1200W Dual 4-Ohm Subwoofer wired down to 2-ohm.

What size power wire and fuse you using Broseph?

 

[Oinkypig 10+ year member]

i have a kac8452 4 channel amp that did the same exact thing. Its either a loose ground, or the power is touching the ground. hook it up to another vehicle and see if it does the same thing. isolate the problem.

 

[Horsemanwill 10+ year member]

the power wire is the one that connects to the batt connection of the amp the ground wire is the one that goes to the ground. now turd asked a good question what size wire how long and what size fuse it it?

the fate of your systems is not lookin' so good

 

[jamezruiz 10+ year member]

its 8ga. power and ground 40a fuse

 

[Horsemanwill 10+ year member]

ok completely disconnect the amp have no wires hooked up at all. make sure the fuse at the batt is out. now go back and hook up one wire at a time make sure nothing is where it's not suppose to be, no loose stands etc. make sure your gound is a good solid ground. do not hook up rca's or subs yet. now after everyting is done put the fuse in and tell us wat happens

WELL I DID WHAT U SAID AND THE AMP POWERS UP, BUT SINCE THE RCA AND SUBS WERE NOT HOOKED UP , NO SOUND CAME OUT FROM IT , BUT THEN I WENT AND HOOKED EVERYTHING UP AND IT BLEW 3 FUSES TOO, when i put in the fuse it made a spark sound //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wow.gif.23d729408e9177caa2a0ed6a2ba6588e.gif

NOT SURE WHAT I DID WRONG

did you try to put the fuse in while the car was running?

 

[jamezruiz 10+ year member]

did you try to put the fuse in while the car was running?

no, the car was off, when i put and replaced the blown fuses'

 

[99grandprixGT 5,000+ posts]

no, the car was off, when i put and replaced the blown fuses'

so they are blowing instantly or after you put them and than turn the amp on?

after i play a song, it blows in between songs, i blew 3 fuses in 15 minutes or so

 

[jamezruiz 10+ year member]

should i upgrade to 4 gage wire????

 

[99grandprixGT 5,000+ posts]

i ran that same amp but the older model for a month with 8 guage wiring and all was good but for 900 RMS i probably would run at least 4 guage. . so you may have a different problem. are you replacing with the same size fuses? how did you set the gain? mabye you have a short in your wire some where?

 

[Horsemanwill 10+ year member]

it's a 40 amp fuse up front? and the amp has 2 30's? or is that just wat i see?
