I recieved a Kenwood 800watt amp about 3 months back. It has worked fined for the past three months running two MTX 10s. Now it keeps blowing fuses. I have checked all the wiring and made sure it is all set up correctly and that the ground is secure, yet the problems remaains. Is the amplifier blown or am i missing some small detail?

The fuses on the amplifier blow? Try disconnecting the speakers and turn it on. If it blows, your amp is a crispy critter.

If it doesn't blow with the speaker's unhooked, check to see if your power wire is grounding out anywhere with a DMM
