    Check your power wire from front to back, it might be touching metal somewhere and causing a short.

    to me it sounds like a short somehwere, thats what the fuses are there for, to protect your car and equipment.

    It could also be a problem within the amp, such as a faulty FET or output transistor. It might be a good idea to check the remote wire for a short, too.

    I had the same problem before and mine was blowing because i had it bridged to a sub which was causing it to blow it fried my sub and i sold the amp to a buddy he runs it on 2 subs works better than ever
