Hi guys,
So I'm having a seriously weird issue right now. I'm on my third amp and don't really have an idea where to look now.
Situation is this:
Stereo with no amp works fine. I added a sound stream amp. Fronts off amp work great. But hooking up rears will blow main 30amp soon as ignition is turned on. I thought this might be because I didn't have rears at the time so I left it alone.
Bought rears last year and installed them. Same thing happened trying to hook rears to amp. Blows main fuse. But they work fine right off the head unit...
I thought maybe an amp issue. Bought a RF and installed it. I made all connections and turned key to acc. Amp turned on for maybe 30secs then all the magic smoke came out of it...
Just picked up an Alpine Ktp-445u and installed it. At first I only connected the fronts. Everything is happy! Then I connected the rears and soon as I turned the key the main blows...
The only thing different between the amps is that the alpine and soundstream have an onboard fuse. The RF didn't. I have a 20amp inline fuse on main power from the battery. Alpine has 15amp onboard
I pulled the tank to look for rubbing/shorts... Nothing... I did the ignition while I was at it, didn't see any bare spots on the wires.
Not sure why main is blowing and not either of the smaller fuses???
I'm drawing a blank here... Any thoughts? Think the power commander could be involved? That's the only other electrical mod that has been done... :serious:
Cheers...
