AMP STILL POPPING FUSE!!! (its making me sick)

[matty]

lol, hiya. me amp just doesnt want to work, its pissed me off so much i nearly threw it on the floor,

EVERYTHING is wired up properly,
1 amp, 650w, 4 way bridged for 2 subs
subs are 700 watts each,
earth from amp goes to a screw bolted to bear metal on the boot,
40 amp fuse in the back of the amp,
40 amp fuse on the wire leading to pos on battery,
its decent wiring kit cost me £20,

i can get it working, but the subs arent really all that loud, then as soon as i turn the volume up on the head unit (even one notch) the amp light turns off and wallah, a fuse has died,

WHY!!!!! WHY!!!! WHY!!!!!

ive spend all day rewiring it just incase i got it wrong, and still blows the fuses, please someone must have a solution

Decent wiring kit £20? I paid more than that just for my live wire!

What is the make/model of the amp? Where in the live wire have you located the fuse?

 

[Tom]

Fuse in the amp or fuse in the wiring?

Makes and Model numbers of EVERYTHING please. (prefereably links to specs as I'm lazy too)

All I can suggest is to double check all your wiring. Ensure that the fuse in your live wirre is no mre than 50cm from your battery and hat your earth lead is less than 50cm

Check that no wires are touching anywhere.

Also try attaching your subs to the amp without bridging. If this works, it may be an error in the way your are bridging the amp to 2 channels.

Double check with the manual
