    Fuses blown, can someone tell me how I should wire this amp/sub combination?

    I just had a shop install the amp and the subs two days ago and it sounded really good. On the way home tonight the subs just stopped working and when I got home, I found out that 2 of the 3 25w fuses blew. Maybe I can rewire it somehow so that I won't have this problem.

    Take it back to the shop. installing incorrectly should be covered under warranty.

    Just a shame I can't justify a carpc to use it on anymore.

    Fuses are rated in amps, not in watts.

    If the fuses are popping, then something isn't right.
    If a shop installed it, take it back to that shop to make it right.
    Have you looked in the FAQ yet?
    How about the Wiki?


    Under normal circumstances, a signature would go here.

    Did you buy the amp there as well?
    The amp can't draw more than aprox 1100 w at max load.
    3 x 25 = 75A

    75A * 14V = 1050 Watt

    Allso, never ever bypass fuses... you can seriously damage electronical equipment, or even start a car fire... (And most likely, the insurance will not cover it).
