If your amp keeps blowing then you need to check your speaker set up, as its very possible that you have a blown speaker somewhere, or a couple of wires shorting together and that is causing the amp to overload... also check the ohm's of your speaker set up, remembering that:

Two 4 ohm speakers wired in parallel = 2 ohm whilst
Two 4 ohm speakers wired in series = 8 ohms

Car amps are rated at 4 ohms and failure to match speakers to this can cause amps to run very hot or blow.

How many watts (speaker protection) will blow a 250 volt .2 amp fast blow glass fuse

Amperage=voltage/resistance 50 watts

But no amp is going to put out that much voltage in output stages. You need a fuse with high amperage for speker protection.

My 1998 hitatci tv keeps blowing fuse whats wroung

The TV has two power supplies, low and high voltage. Most likely the high voltage transistor (called a Horizontal Output Transistor or HOT) is shorted due to a malfunctioning high voltage transformer (the biggest piece on the board with the large red wire coming from it. If the low voltage is bad most likely the diode pack (full wave rectifier) or the voltage regulator chip.
Remember fuses are to keep the unit from catching fire by opening up when a short circuit draws too much current. If you cannot replace the cause of the current draw, it's time to buy a new TV.

Hi,im a technician and i got a problem with a Sony Trinitron Colour television model Kv-T29mn3. I replaced an Str, capacitors & Horizontal Output Transistor. Voltage output its okay but it keeps on...

These sets had alot of problems with bad FBT flyback tranfomers,You might need to change FBT.
Heres another thing they also had Bad Picture Tubes that will blow hori output and you will not know its the Tube untill you replace the FBT.Use a high voltage probe to monitor Voltage coming from the anode button, if you dont have a HVP then disconnect the CRT board and monitor set.

Speaker blow out with 34vts on output of amplifier .checked transistors & drivers ok.can you help me please

Well, this may take some work, but do you have a schematic for the unnamed mystery amplifier?
If so, trace the voltage back to the op-amp chip that's sitting with V+ on it's output with no input, and you`ve found the problem!
Otherwise, if you have an oscilloscope, with no speakers attached, trace the incoming signal until it turns to a DC voltage or til the signal starts riding on a high or low voltage.

Oh, another thing to check, there's usually a couple high wattage low impedance resistors between the power transistors (unless it's a hybrid chip). If one of those resistors opens up, you can have this issue.

Rockford Fosgate Punch P325.1 Amp keeps blowing fuses every time I start the car. What is going on?

well if the amp works with the car off and when you start it the fuse blows then you may have alternator issues use a volt meter to check battery voltage is not above 14.5 volts
if the fuse blows when the amp turns on then most likely you have a shorted output section in the amp.

Vintage harley cutout relays keep frying and headlight keeps blowing out thinking my 32 e gen has too much output but I have it dialed all the way down. maby i need a whole bunch of lights to burn up all...

Your voltage regulator is not working properly. You may have to convert to a more modern style regulator. Get a voltmeter and measure voltage at the battery with bike off, should be 12 to 12 1/2 volts. Then measure voltage with bike at idle and then at high RPM, should never go over 14 and 1/2 volts. Also bad connections, dirty, rusty, loose etc will cause the gen to work harder and put out high amps. Make sure you have good clean connectors at the battery posts also. GOOD LUCK.

Help my fuse is blow!

If the amp blows fuses only AFTER you send remote turn-on voltage to the amp, the amp probably has blown output transistors. To eliminate other possible causes, read through the following page.

Amps

If the amp blows a fuse with no remote voltage applied, the amp has a short in the primary side of the power supply. If the fuse only blows after remote voltage is applied, the amp probably has shorted output transistors.

Rockfordfosgate amp 750s car problem

Disconnect all speaker wires and RCA cables from the amp. Replace the fuse with a 30 amp fuse and power up the amp. If the fuse blows, the amplifier probably has shorted/leaking output transistors.

40amp fuse blows

Measure the DC voltage across the B+ and ground terminals as well as across remote and ground. If you have less than 11 volts when the amp tries to power up, the amp could be shutting down due to low voltage.

If the voltage remains near or above 12v, disconnect all speaker wires and signal cables from the amp. If it powers up, the wiring needs to be checked. If it still shuts down or blows the fuse when you apply remote voltage (turn the head unit on), the amp likely has blown output transistors.
