|   Fuse blowing repeatedly | jcomm
Apr 10, 2003 5:58 PM | | I've got a Velodyne CT-80 subwoofer which has recently gone out of two-year warranty. No power when I turn it on. Opened it up and the fuse is blown. I replace the fuse. Power on. Fuse blows. So... anyone have any idea why the fuse would blow when I power up?
Thanks in advance,
Joel |

Disconnect the driver from its amp & connect a DMM across the pair(s) of speaker voice coil terminals & see if you get the rated voice coil(s) resistance, say 4 or 8 ohms. If the speaker voice coil(s) is(are) OK, then it is your amp. |

So i took it to get repaired, which will cost you around $225, and after one repair followed by another amp death, we found out there is some weird defect in those models that makes the amp blow. After having that fixed the problem hasn't come back. Good luck. |
