internal short in the amp? either that, or there's a dead short in the wiring.

i can imagine the sound a 150 amp fuse makes when it goes, i would check for a short to ground in your man power lead from the battery

I'm with sass... sounds like your amp tried to pull a load of current as soon as it came on....

Don't they have a protection circuit for dead shorts, though ???
