I spent some of my freetime trying to figure out why my old amp (brutus 1500d) quit working on me, it would power up, then just shut off. I've wanted a bigger amp for awhile since I'm going to the slap show in carlisle in may, so I went and bought one of my friends old 400x's.. we installed everything and it wouldn't power up. we checked everything. before that I moved my amp to different grounding locations that I used in the past and they worked fine at the time. so we were outside for about an hour or so just trying to figure out what was wrong. 2 of my friends that have been into car audio for years longer than I have were out with a DMM checking everything,....
to make a long story short, the fuse holder that I was using wasn't letting the current pass through. I've never seen that kind of problem before in my 5-6 years dealing with car audio.. it was strange..

i have, its urksome cause its the last place you'd think to look, you can pull out the fuse and its fine, so you assume the terminal is to, but it happened, incidentally with a brutus amp, a bx1000d.

Thats happen to me with a cheap ass circuit breaker, pulled to much current through it and melted the internals sumwhere between open and close, when there was no current draw through it it would show 12.5 on both sides, fire up the amp and the voltage would drop to 6.5 on the amps side lol
