Soundstream 1.800 amp keeps blowing fuses - Car Audio & Video

Sounds like a loose power connection? Check All connections, also make sure the impedance is correct 4ohm 8omh 16 ohm the speakers need to match the amplifiers output to work properly. ...

I would highly replacing it with an identical one.

What is the question? More information is needed before somebody can help you.

Take a look inside it could possibly be a/some capacitor/s. If it is replace more than just one because they can also be going bad. This is a cheap fix they cost less than one or two dollars a piece.(if this is the problem)

well. if it doesn't function after smoking, then it needs to go to a GOOD technician. ( if one is available to you) if not then send it to soundstream. if this was not a good amp , I would advise getting rid of an amp that smoked, however soundstream is a good brand and deserves another chance. (always depending on the cost of repairs)
hope this helps.

IN MY OPINION I WOULDNT OWN A SOUNDSTREAM AMP NOT BY ANY MEANS KNOCKIN UR AMP BUT IVE NO GOOD LUCK W ANY SOUNDSTREAM AMP IVE EVER HAD

there is a good possibility you may have a bad ground on the amp but if that does not work just let me know my email is [email protected]

try to disconect the speakers and turn the amp on and tell if it still blows the fuse

Go by the fuse rating on the amplifier as a default. i.e. - If on amp has a 40 amp fuse on the outside and another has a 30 amp fuse on the outside, then you need to supply at least 70 amps of current. the formula works like this: amps X volts = watts. Doing the math here, for an amp to produce 1000w of power @ your vehicle's 12v power, you need 83 amps of current. Most cars produce 14v from the alternator when running, so this is really only needing 71 amps. Make sure your car's alternator can supply the excess current when running. Most modern amplifiers are efficient enough to produce their wattage with even less current than that.

No, this amp is not a heavy power consumer- matter of fact it takes very little power to run.Maybe you should check the fuses on the amp to see if they are what is recommended.Also check your fuse kit to your amp- your fuse might not be big enough.If neither works take it back where u got it.
