Why Do I Keep Blowing Fuses?
#5
Bigger fuse are one way to go, but only to a point. The fuse is there to protect the amp, I'd be more inclined to say that its cuz your trying to use an amp thats too small to power the sub. A sub will only take as much power as it needs, so if you have a little amp and its needs to try and pull 60 amps say to power the sub and you've got a 50 amp fuse the fuse blows. Now if you put a better amp in and it only takes 40 amps to power the sub you shouldn't be blowing fuses. Hope that helps.

What size fuse are you using now? I think the biggest i've ever run using 1 amp is a 50 amp fuse.
