Why is my amp blowing fuses?
Why is my amp blowing fuses?
I'll start off by saying that I'm an audio novice. Know how to install a sytem but don't really know any troubleshooting yet.
So I installed some subwoofers and an 300 watt amp in my car. As soon as I turn the car on, the fuses blow on the amp. I have a 4g power cable running into a splitter down to two 8g cables, one powering my 300w amp for my speakers and the other for the subs. The speaker amp runs fine. What could be causing this to happen and how can I fix this?

So I re grounded the amp using the grounding spot behind the backseat that my first amp is grounded too. Since my other amp still works fine I know that grounding is no longer the issue.
What happens now is that the amp will turn on for about a second and then blow the fuses. This is leading me to belive it to be an actual electrical problem with the amp. How much would it cost to get an amp repaired?
