I can't stop blowing fuses!!!
Before i tried to wire in a capacitor everything worked fine. The subs just cutoff every once and a while. They wouold turn back on when i either switched song/radio station or when i cranked the volume up to almost full blast.
After the capacitor every time i completed the circuit it would arc where i made the final connection and blow the fuses in the amp. Even after I took out the capacitor it would still arc and blow fuses. i pulled out the amp and opened it up to check if something in the amp was bad. It was still good. This tells me that there has to be a short but, i can't figure out where! Any ideas? |
Car stereo gear is not my strong suite.... BUT....
You were not blowing fuses before adding the capacitor. Them after ONLY adding a capacitor (no other changes), it blows fuses? Now trying to return the setup to what it was before the capacitor, it's still popping fuses? If I am following along, my guess is that somewhere you accidentally shorted a connection when you added the capacitor. Even though you removed it, the short still exists. Try re-tracing all your connections. Verify the integrity of the cables (no exposed wire and such), ensure everything is connected as it should be (no crossing positives/negatives/grounds). It sounds silly, but I've seen some real headache problems be something so simple. |
