I have a JBL 600.1 hooked up to 2 12" IDQ's they were running fine until recently my amp blew the 2 30 amp fuses it takes. Now everytime I replace the fuses they blow as soon as I turn the car on again. What are some possible solutions to this problem?

Do you have a DMM? Check the output devices, which sit on the heat sink, for shorts, and check the power supply rectifiers for shorts.

Beyond that a shorted filter cap is a remote possibility, and a shorted power transformer even less likely than that.

If you need help with checking the mosfets, this might be helpful: http://www.bcae1.com/ampfail.htm
