Hey, I have a problem and I think it may be I got a bad amp from Lanzar(I know I took a chance). Well, I have a Lanzar Vibe1200D amp hooked up to 2 DD 3510's in a ported box wired to 1ohm. My power wire is 4ga and so is my ground. I hooked everything up about 3 weeks ago and was working fine. Then, I went over to my friends house and everything seemed to be working, then leave his house, and when I get into the car and start it up, my amp and my subs won't turn on. So, I drive home and start looking for the problem. I check the engine bay and see that my 60 amp fuse has blown. Well, I go and grab 2 more 60's and put the first one in. I get in my car and start it up and turn around to look at my amp. I look at the lights at the side of the amp and they come on but then stayed on for about 2 seconds and then my fuse blows and the lights on the amp go off. So, I check my connections and my power wire and nothing seems to be touching or stripped or anything. When I turn the car on, I get no respnse from my subs what-so-ever. It seems that my amp is trying to charge up, but then never does. (I think this because before when I turned my car on, my subs never came right on, it took about a second for them to get any juice from the amp) So, is my amp faulty and do I have to send it back to Lanzar to get it fixed, or does anyone think that there is anything I can do again before I send it off? Thanks for all your help, Jimmy

I don't think it's your amp. Try re-wiring your subs to a 4ohm load. You probably have positive and negative wires connected together somewhere. This causes the fuse to blow. Check your sub connections.

I have a problem with the same amp (1200d) but my amp wont come on at all. I hooked up an 4ga. amp kit from knu knoceptz and the amp wont come on at all? Whats the deal!?!?

I had this problem with an install I did. It worked fine for a couple of weeks and then the amp just started going into protection mode all the time (just like blowing fuses). I pulled the ground connection off of the chassis and sanded the chassis for about 3 minutes and hooked it back up and it has been working ever since.
