So i hooked up the amp useing the pre-existing 8 gauge wire with a 30 amp fuse it worked for about and hour and started blowing the 30 amp line fuse. i replaced the line from 8 to 4 gauge and installed an 80 amp line fuse. this worked for about an hour and now it is blowing the 20 amp fuse on the amp. Any ideas?

This sound like a case of arcing power wire it happens very very easy if u use cheap wire especially from walmart. whatever u do keep using fuses and get a batt test asap. if u take out the fuses ull burn the amp like no other and plobably burn out the power rails which will be cheaper to buy a new amp after that

I'm running 8 gauge wire for battery cable and ground cable....my amp.is a momentum 600 watt...2 channel. ....my fuse is blowing every time I hook up either cable...
First of all, what size fuse? Check the amp and see what max amperage is, and insure your fuse is that size. Secondly, I suspect either a blown speaker or blown outputs. Disconnect the speakers from the amp and see if the fuse still blows. If it does, either you are hooking two wires up improperly, or your outputs are toast.

Have a hartke lh1000 head . played about 5 total hours then blew the fuse. is this something i shoud be worried about?
If the fuse is correct ( check manual) it shouldn't blow under normal operation. Once in while a fuse will break internally and thus blow the fuse. look close at the blown fuse If it is a "violent" blow (totally black inside) then you have an overload condition. I would use an ohm meter to check the connection to the speakers. Usually it should be between 8 ohms and 4 ohms if the number is lower than 4 ohms your speakers or wiring are putting to much of a load on the amp. If the fuse was not a "violent" blown fuse then replace with a new fuse of the exact proper value. many amps use an MDL fuse that is a slow blow fuse and has much different in circuit function than a ACG fuse so use only the exact proper furse that the manufacture recomends. If the load (speaker and wiring) is correct and the fuse is correct and still blows then you have a component problem and the amp will need repair

1984 Chevy 350 has two fusible links,one foe ignition the other for headlights which is blown. Can I replace with a blade fuse and what amperage is equal to the wire gauge that is on the original?
Fusible links work much differently than blade fuses, they can tolerate a large load without melting, this is why they are used for high amp draw systems. You can't substitute the blade fuses, they will blow repeatedly if you do. Fusible links are very cheap and all auto parts stores have them, they go by color to indicate what the amp rating is, wire gauge is not used. So the bottom line hear is you can use blade fuses but they will likely blow often, you will need fusible links (Green) or 30 or 20 amp fuses. Here is the color breakdown of all fusible links.
BLACK 45A
RED 35A
GREEN 30A
BROWN 20A

I installed a planet audio TW402 amp in my car. i put this amp last summer. when i first put it in my car with an sony xplod sub. i had a very small 12 gauge power wire and ground wire. but still it worked...
It could have to do with how your speakers are wired. If you have 2- 4 ohm speakers and they
are both wired to one terminal (RIGHT OR LEFT) on the amp, you have a 2 ohm load and most amps are rated at 4 ohms.
Go to this site and use #58 on the right sidebar to see if you are wired correctly.

AMP Problems
may have blown an output transistor. Remove the wires from the speaker terminals and see if the problem still persists. If the light comes on with no load, it will need servicing by a technician.

amp turning on and off I have one 12 inch sub in my car and recently have been having some problems with the amp. If the RCA wires are not connected to the cd player the amp stays on and no problem. But as soon as the RCA is connected to the cd player the amp is constantly turning on and off when i turn the volume up but when the volume is very low the amp stays on even with the RCA connected. I am positive it is not the RCA wires because i tried using another pair of RCA wires and it still didnt work.
