Help
Well, I have the same problem, my new amplifier I just bought worked fine for about a week until all the fuses blew. I replaced all fuses and it worked fine but, after a while the fuses on my power cord blew again. I replaced it blew again. What exactly might be wrong?

hey bud,i had the same problem in my old set up.but the problem was my amp,i bought it with factory defect..anyway DO NOT disconnect the neg. cable. negative should always be plugged first before the positive to run the power through it..that's why you blew fuses even the fuse in the fuseblock.your amp was eating power from positive of the batt but doesnt have the negative connection to balance your amp electricity.check your amp's negative to the chassis,clean it or use papersand for rust or dirt.let somebody check your amp before anything get worst..correct me if i said somthing wrong..
me myself have alot of questions also regarding electricity...hope this one help buddy..=)

just outta curiosity.... is you power and ground the same color?
check to make sure u have the power from batt in the terminal marked BATT and the wire grounded to the body attached to terminal labeled GND
if u accidentally connected them backwards then connected them the way it should be you probably blew a diode in the amp called the polarity dioide.
get the amp serviced it should be fairly cheap

another problem
Okay...I got this new amplifier, a visonik 300 watt mono channel amplifier that runs a 4 ohms. With this amp, i hooked up a 6 ohm speaker set from walmart up to it. after a while, the amplifier started to weaken and not play as loud. I kept turning up the amp to keep the sound up because it sounded like it was not powering the speakers at the usual sound level. after about a week, the protection light came on. I tried checking the ground and power cables and they are fine. i checked fuses and even replaced them and the protection light is still on. What exactly happened and how can i get it serviced?
well with a 6ohm load the amp should go all day with out a problem, but it is a visonik amp... and they arent exactley know for being reliable. also depending on the wal-mart speakers you could have melted the voice coils causing the amp to see a strange load in turn frying something inside the amp, there are alot of places that do electronic repair and they are often inexpensive, but i would first try hooking something else up to the amp and see if it still does it, then look inside the speaker set up, (if it is a multi speaker system inside of one box) and check all the wiring in there as well, if a negative is touching a positive you'll go into protect mode.
