You took it to a dealer and you’re asking us? If they don’t know... I mean is this is either a load issue or an amp issue (<my guess). I know something easy and inexpensive is what you are looking for

Hey

The 2 different installers i went to said theres sumthing wrong with the kx series and them blowing fuses, but they said it was def. something internal.. because it was working fyne, and playing then all of a sudden cut out, and i noticed fuses were poped. THe installers checked everything, installed new fuses, but still the same problem...

NO- Dan. wtf. First replace your main fuse. A 200 amper should be fine.
