... so the fuse is in the amp... are you running full power or just banging at 1/3 volume as you go down the road? I mean a 30a fuse shouldn't be popping unless you are wringing it out! This could explain why there wasn't a fuse in it when you bought it (from a friend right...?)

It's just those mid sized ones from cars nothing special. The amp is fine the only songs blowing the 30 are millie and jeezys hypnotize... Both brutal bass songs but I turned the boost and gain down a bit n it's working fine.
On another note I ordered like 20 of the 40s online at like 90 cents each since they seem to be so rare. Princess auto killed me though "we carry 30 and 50 amp fuses in that size but no 40" lol

Typical thing to happen when you crank your gains and bass boost will be blowing of the amps fuse. Happend to a friends Alpine MRP500 before we tuned the system

Sounds good gf going to your shop to pick some up after work. Now I just hope when the proper fuse is in they stop popping or I'm going to have go back to square one and check everything to find the problem

I wonder if he's had any more problems since running the 40's.
