    Aight boys, new problem...so they worked perfect all weekend...but today the fuse under the hood blew. No big problem right? So i tried to replace it, and I went through 5 fuses and they all blew as soon as i put them into the holder. I'm using the same size fuse and everything, I even un hooked the battery and put it in and it would just blow as soon as i hooked it all back up...any ideas?

    how many amps do you have? what size fuse do you have under the hood? the fuse under the hood should match the sum of all fuses you have in your amps.

    something must be shorting out. you will have to check the whole run of power wire to make sure nothing is wrong with it.

    do not replace it with a larger fuse or you can start a fire.

    Aight, so what should I be checking for on the power wire? Like spots where the insulation has come off or what?

    that and part of the wire touching other wires like the ground wire. check your wires where you have them connected at the powered sub. sometimes it's just one wire strand out of place that could cause that
