Check the wires at the amp. Make sure that the wires are neatly bundled and clean cut when connecting them, a stray wire may be going under one of the connections from the battery input to the ground input of the amp, there for causing a direct short and blowing the fuse. I am assuming you mean that the amp's fuse is blowing. Get yourself a test light and test the wires for power. battery power?(12V) is always on and remote power(12V) comes on only when the radio is on(it should be the blue wire in color). Then make sure you have a very good ground, I always use the seat belt bolt or car seat bolt(direct to chassis). If you checked all these steps with no luck then the culprit may be your amp.

My rockford fosgate punch p-1000 bd amp stopped working.all it does now when I turn my stereo on is pop my 100amp inline fuse.

You have shorted outputs that are causing this. The amp will have to be repaired. I can repair it for you.

Rockford Fosgate Punch 150a2 Car Amp wiring manual

Sub amps are pretty straight forward.....Hook up you rca cable....then all thats left is you positive (B+) that goes to your battery....the negative that you should hook to a good paint free bolt in your trunk and the remote wire which connects to your stereo.....

I have a rockford fosgate punch P325.1 subwoofer mono amp that blows a fuse every time i start the car. I have a second pioneer amp but that works with no problems. How can i fix this?

Is it the correct size fuse ? Is it the power fuse or remote ? Either way check your connections going into the amp . Try this hook your other amp to the set of wires for the rockford if that amp has a problem its a wireing problem if not chances are its an interal problem on the rockford . Hope this helps !

Rockford Punch HE2 wiring question.

if your sub will handle it, bridging it will give you more power. The best thing to do is to find out how much power the amp puts out ( RMS ) and if it is in your power handling range bridge it. It sounds better and gives you a harder punch because of more power.

Check the fuse in the amp.
If the fuse is good, make sure your remote wire (blue) is connected to the remote wire from your deck.
Is your ground connected?
