Disconnect ground on battery then power. Reconnect power then ground. Not power first.

1-You have a fault inside your amp

2- DO NOT put power to the amp

3- either throw it away or pay to have it repaired

4- I am assuming you dont have your speaker output shorted, or something else 'interesting' going on if so you may see item 1 anyway especially if you keep putting in new fuses

It is starting to look like a drive-by posting. He started this thread with his first post

i was wondering if there was a bad voice coil on a sub and it was blowing a fuse, good amps should go into protection, poor quality amps blow fuses, so do good smoked amps. amp smoke is bad! blowing fuses is bad too.
