Then one day it just quit. I never liked it because it got sooo hott!! I guess it just was hitting it thermal temp., but someone eles could prove me wrong.

feaiel Bronze Member Username: Feaiel Post Number: 13 Registered: May-06	Posted on Sunday, July 16, 2006 - 17:55 GMT Do you have any wires that r close enough to touch or just loose..especially when you turn it loud and start getting vibrations? Thermal problems SHOULDN'T cause a fuse to blow, it should just send the amp into thermal protection...and what bassman said-I'd check my ground to make sure it was secure.
