Onkyo tx-sv424 keeps blowing power up fuse,i blew it hooking up about 8 speakers insteaqd of the 2 i got with it
Unless you hook up the speakers so that you present the correct load to the output amps, you will continue to blow fuses and eventually damage your output stages. And if you hook up all those speakers in parallel you are indeed in deep duty. Get yourself a book regarding speaker wiring, etc.

Hammond organ c2 hook to a 147 leslie speaker it keep blow the 1.5 slo blo fuse how do I fix this
Like all the past answers, make sure everything is clean and lubricated expecially on the Lesley if it's a motorized rotating speaker, the slow blow fuse is telling you there is a problem ?

Why the fuse blow
Possible causes...
1. Your power wires into the amp are reversed
2. Something in the amp is shorted
3. Your sub is shorted
4. Your sub is incorrectly hooked up and is showing a lower load than the amp can handle.
Check resistance on speakers. And make sure your not overloading amp with incorrect ohm load for speakers.. You raise and lower speaker ohms by wiring them in a series or parallel. It's a good idea to make sure your power cable sizes are correct and can handle the voltage & amperage.

I hook up my amp with no speakers on it but keeps blowing the fuses on main fuse block coming off batt. what could it be and how much to fix
Fuses blow like that when there's an overload. This is often caused by a semiconductor device that is acting like it is a piece of wire. The most common fault in amps is the devices on the heatsink, that power the speakers. The cost will depend on how much the devices are and how many have gone.

My Amp keeps blowing both the fuse at the same time, I have already put bigger gauge wires from both battery and speakers. Hook up is set up for max power at 1000 watts 2ohm "i have already tried...
It requires 8 gauge never put higher or lower gauge it will act weird. sounds like u got a broken speaker wire or something

Blowing fuses on the Vosonik VB101PK
ok, always use ground and positive from speakers to the amps +/- . Make sure the amp is not grounded. Some amps are made of metal and will ground itself. When ever any fuses pop, this means that something somewhere got grounded. If using metal srews to mount amp that has a metal casing, chances are you will pop a fuse or two. Be careful ajusting the speaker wires with a metal srewdriver, I've done that alot. "POP"

Amp blowing fuses
Your amp is blowing fuses to protect your circuit. The type of 12V battery does not matter. For whatever reason you are over driving the amp. 2 Ohms sounds like a very low impedance for a car amplifier output. I am assuming you have the two 12" speakers wired in parallel. Most are rated at 4 Ohms which means you are pulling twice the current with the 2 Ohm load. Also, the bigger the speaker, the bigger the magnet, the bigger the coil, the larger the inductance, the heavier the load. Make sure these speakers are matched with your amp. A small amp driving large speakers will shut down at high volumes. Try putting them in different channels. Good Luck.

Avr 3802 can i hook up 2 sets of front speakers
well depending on the wattage of the speakers your trying to hook up to the amp if they exeed the maximum wattage then theres a chance u *could* blow a fuse nothing more then that, a fuse protects more expsinsive devices in ur amp, an if ur system keeps blowing fuses after doing that add up the watts 2 all ur speakers,
and remove the less needed
Hope you find this usfull

Wondering why im blowing fuses
The most common reason for an amp (in good working order) to blow fuses is a speaker load that's impedance is too low. You may need to rewire your speakers.

Let me know if you have any other questions.
