Hi there wondered if anyone could help...I Bought a brand new wireing kit for my amp but it keeps popping the fuses in the amp for some reason

I have cheeked all the wires all seems fine and it's wired up properly to the amp aswell

Any ideas?

Cheers

you tryed another amp?
sounds like theres a fault in the one you have, or the fuse not big enough?

Yeah tryed my mates amp in my car and it still didnt work it takes two 20amp fuses and keeps popping them

grounded it right?

keeps blowing just use a bigger fuse ?

whats connected to the amp? speakers, subs etc? if youve got sub and speakers connected to it then the amp wont be powerful enough for it. thats why it keeps blowing fuses.

The only thing connected to the amp is the sub

what watt is the sub? and amp? if the sub is 1000w and amp 500w then thatll be why.

no it wont jordyp you'v got it mixed up, if the amp is under powering the subs then your sub is fine and so is you amp, if the amp is over powering the subs then this will damage your subs, as iv got two jbl 10inch 400W peak 100W rms x 4ohm on a series circuit connected one sub to each left and right output on my amp, which is an infinity referece 7521a 97 watts RMS x 2 at 4 ohms.
so what your saying is my amp should blow which is doesnt it works perfectly. i'd say Alexburns2010 disconnect your sub and wire up your amp, double check your earth connection, and check your main supply wire from your battery for any cracks where it could be shorting out, then see if your amp turns on when you turn your radio on which it should because the switched live should be connected to the output from your radio, if your amp turns on try connecting up a sub. theirs either going to be a cut in your supply wire which is shorting out and causing you to blow fuses, orrr theirs a fault in your amp, check your connections to your amp that their isnt any stray wires crossing over to make it short out by accident.

hi i have already looked at the wires they all seem fine no stray wires ect
Av got a 1000w sub and a gto 4000 600w amp Brand new wiring kit all installed properly ect but still blowing the fuses

my bad pricer i thought it would of been something like that as my mate had a double sub in his 106 and he blew his amp. thought it would of been something like it anyway lol. try a 30 fuse?
