Alright so here is the thing, i have 3 pioneer premier TS-W306DVC's and a Power Acoustik 1600 watt OV-21600 running from a 0 gauge wire. The wires go threw a 200 amp ANL fuse and then to a Distributor block that has 80 amp fuses in it into 4 gauge wire. The problem im having is that somethin happend to my system and then power light to the amp didnt come on BUT it still got power and worked and everything except it just wasnt as loud. then sometimes when i would give the amp more power it would go back on. well now im at the point were i put a fuse in the distributor block and within 20 seconds the fuse just heats up and blows. I mean like just gets super hot right away and blows. I turn the music on my HU all the way down and this still happends, the gain on the amp is all the way down too. So i dont kno if it is my amp or if it is something to do with the wires. but i need some help here becuse i cant figure it out. Please someone help me out here.

souds like power supply in the amp is fried(short to ground) if that is the case you need to take it to your local shop and have it repaired. but first check all your conections frad wires one might be grounding out. but it really sounds to me you fried the amp the internal power supply of the amp. this is the only amp in the setup?

If you only feed it power, ground, and remote, and it still immediately blows a fuse, it's toast.

It might sound like a pain but... we had a customer come back last year and say he keeps blowing fuses too... So we checked the power wire connection at the amp and it looked fine. So the installer who was looking at it decided to pull up the carpet to inspect the power wire and low and behold... Where the power wire is run under the carpet even though it was along the running board of the jeep it still managed to wear the wire jacket down and ground out against the metal... I've never seen power wire do this before then... But you might wanna try that I'd say disconnect all your speakers from your amps also disconnect your rca's. and go searching for power with a negative test light or even better a digital multimeter... GOOD LUCK! Trobleshooting is quite a big part of installation! Did you try swapping another amp into the install yet?

Okay, well, you isolated the problem too the amp then.  Good job, but sorry to hear about your bad luck.
