Hello
I seem to be having a fuse blowing problem... my amp, whenever turned on, will blow my inline fuse... one of the long cylindrical gold tipped ones...
the last thing i want to do is send my amp off for repair, cause it wont be back for some time, most defenately not before SNS...
I took the RCAs out thinking it may have been a shitty signal... that was one fuse...
I took the power out to the subs out, thinking it may have been stripped and earthing somewhere... that was two fuses...
so its still blowing fuses with just positive, negative and a remote signal...
I only have one fuse left, and im starting to think its almost certainly the amp acting up which i really dont want to believe...
I also have it sitting on my lap, and i can't see any problems with it... I have seen quite a few amps, good and bad to know what to look for, and i cant find anything wrong here... I did find a tiny little switch that is name SW1 and has an on and off feature... im assuming this is for the crossover and gain controls...
in the mean time, im going to go hook up another amp, if i can find a 20 amp fuse...
Specs:
Amp: Earthquake PHD5000W 3kwRMS amp
Fuses: 60 amp x4 blown 1 left
Wiring: 8 Gauge straight from battery, through a fuse, and neg back to battery again (couldn't find any problems with the wiring)
extra notes: When all are together, pow, neg, and remote, there is a high pitch whining noise, which gains amplitude for a little while, then fizzes out as the fuse melts... its ghey
so yeah... anyone have any ideas... anyone.... anyone??? probably shouldn't have asked on a saturday night at 7:45...
