partially melted fuse, now amp whispers?!?
Hello, newbie here...
so my amp all of a sudden cut out, then on then out....noticed the fuse was alittle melted so i replaced it. Now if i turn the volume past like 10 (0-50 potential) it cuts in and out... the gain is damn near off, which helped abit, but caused no boom boom....the amp heats up quite abit... could it be worn out, is there anything i can replace on the circuit board to fix this? could it need a smaller fuse? lol i cant afford another amp right now lol could i add to the heatsink, to help cooling?
any knowledge would be great!!!

Sounds like your fuse didnt do its job! ...sounds like your amp is damaged and no you cannot add to the heatsink to help cooling!
As far as your question is there anything you can replace on the circuit board to fix this? yes, absolutely, replace the damaged components and you are set!

Good advice! take the amp and have it bench tested somewhere, once you confirm it is damaged you will need to look at why it happened. Check your install and load impedence.
