i neeed advice. I barrowed y2k's bass cd it it kept blowing the amp's fuse. well the amp is a lanzar vibe250, it's bridged to 2 12' punches subs in custom inclosures. i ran the power with only 8gauge wire to try to keep the power limited and not breakstuff. I also am running a punch capasitor<-is that how you spell it. but the fuse is a 30 amp fuse. so what is the biggest fuse I could use and still be safe?

There's also the possibility that you're just pulling too much power through it with that bass disk. Back several years ago, I upgraded amps, but kept the original power wire and fuse and it was fine until playing really bassy music, but then the fuse blew. Just put a bigger fuse in it, and it was fine. Just a suggestion.

·The biggest fuse you can go with 8 gauge is a 75A. What is the size of the fuse in the amp? I wouldnt go with anything bigger that whats in there on the power wire.

·LOL....Whats up Boom? You get them links? I sent them last night I think, or today.
My vote....
...probably nothing is wrong with the amp, I would check the wiring as stated above, check your connections, check your ground. This cd is prob just pushing your amp harder than usual, and the weakest link is giving out.....
Just my thoughts....
