Arc Audio 2500-XXK vs. Blown Internal Fuses

What's up, guys? I hope all is well. I'm hoping you can help me troubleshoot a little problem I am having here...

I have an Arc Audio 2500-XXK that has sat dormant for about 2 years in my garage and I have finally gotten around to installing the beast. So I connected everything up as normal only to discover she's not firing up. After troubleshooting the obvious turn-on/ground/power lines, I opened up the chassis to discover that all 3 30-amp fuses had blown. Hoping this to be a one time event, I purchased a new set of fuses and again then went.

Any ideas as to what I can do to troubleshoot the matter, or does this need to be sent out for repair?

unfortunately, it probably needs to go out for repair. I want to say I've heard of these amps with this problem before... I could be wrong though.

yeah, sounds like it needs some repair work.

kinda silly but i've accidentally connected the power and ground backwards on my 1500-xxk and blew all the internal fuses. maybe you had a brainfart and did the same?

also make sure there are no frayed wires from the power wire touching the ground terminal.

$150 flat-rate, regardless of issue.

Not bad.
