Q&A: How do I correctly put my 200-watt fuse into my 1000 watt amp?
Question by Taylor B: How do I correctly put my 200-watt fuse into my 1000 watt amp?
So I recently blew my 20-watt fuse in my 1000-watt amp connected to 2 12″ subwoofers. Thinking it would be an easy fix I went to radioshack and got some more fuses. But now everytime I try putting the fuse in it blows everytime I re-connect power to my amp. How to I do it to make it so it doesn’t blow everytime?

I’d suspect that the amp has an internal short that is blowing the fuse.
Either take it to a local car audio shop or electronics repair facility that does component level repairs, or put the amp information in here and get a repair quote:

If the repair will cost more than about 1/2 the cost of a new amp, you may be better off just replacing the amp.
