check the subs first. if they still read good on a meter, and you're sure nothing is shorting on the output side...
then you have something wrong inside the amp where it's just shorting current

no but a blown amp would. I had the same problem with my old PPI a1200. Kept blowing fuses and come to find out the power supply was bad in the amp

a blown sub can immediately cause the fuses to blow. beleive it or not, ive seen it a few times lately. no problems with the amp,just a bad coil and before it even hits it first note, the fuses pop. it reads back a strange ohm with the sub connected. maybe it was just me. next guess is the power supply on the amp. very frustrating when that happens. they will usually pop in the first 15 seconds or so when its bad. depends on the level of sound it gets to. ive had a bad power supply that played fine until i got to about 1/3 volume, then it would pop.
