Pushed my subs too hard?
I think I pushed my subs too hard. I was driving down the street bumping my system and next thing I know... all the lights in the car flash quickly and the car dies. I look @ my fusebox behind the secret compartment, all the fuses are blown. I looked in the engine bay fusebox, all of those are blown. I checked the inline fuses for my system all 3 of em are blown. Did I push my system too hard? I ended up getting my car towed to pep boys and buying like $50 worth of fuses.

damn dawg, that could be more than pushing them too hard. was your system full blast? did you check where it clips? cause when you push it past clipping into distortion fuses will blow to keep from frying yo shizzile.
**** bro, never heard of ALL of them blowing. maybe take your car back to be rewired?
My god im gonna be waiting to hear this one~!
Good luck mate!

Lol, me and Charles set up the system. I dunno how the all the fuses blew, bit they did. Im sorta curious too, anyone have any ideas on what it might have been? My bass was max on the stock head-unit and the bass control (Amp Remote) was set to 1/2. Im gonna upload my wiring diagram.
ahhhhhhh im 92.6% sure its that **** that you put cd's into....
i m not going to call it a raido DAMN IT! i just did i guess....
that thing clips before you even turn it on.
I used to look at it funny and something weird would happen.
no telling with that thing.... playing with fire!
stock raido... damn i did it again

I'd check and recheck your wiring. All the fuses in a car don't blow when you crank the system. Just the system fuses. You messed something up big. Though your diagram appears to be okay, I'd still give a good physical inspection of all the wiring (no matter how big a pain in the *** it is)
And on a more opinionated note, Is that actually the way your cap is set up? Away from the distblock and amp? Though it may work in that config, you'll benefit more by putting the cap inline.

As opposed to running it off a dist block, run the + from the battery to the + of the cap, then a wire from the + of the cap to the +in of the amp. Then ground both as usual.
This is the normal practice, at least as far as I've seen em... and I've seen quite a few.

ya i think you need to fix your cap.....i wouldnt use a distroblock for your ground...id just hook the amp ground wire to the cap then a wire from the same place on ur cap to the ground location....
damn dude ive never heard of that **** happening. Something has to be wrong. Once the fuse to your system go that should shut the amps off and then everything else should be cool. I used to run 2 solar barics off a JL500/1 and my interiors off a rockford 400/4. I have this thing the audio shop put in instead of a fuse since i was running so much power. Not once did anything go wrong. You do have a few things I didnt have. I wonder if that cap had anything to do with it? I dont know if it matters the cap is after the distributers or not? also what head unit are you using?
damn man...that's pretty bad. i've blow that fuse a lot of times(i used to run 30amps, now i do 60s. but i never really blast my system. you might think about a capacitator or something..optima battery..better gauge wiring..that's a lot of juice you'd be pumping
I am running 4 gauge wiring EVERYWHERE for the power and grounds. Can someone edit my "setup diagram" to show me a more optimal setup for my system?
BTW... AGSmooth, im using the stock HU for now.

man that sux sorry. i dont know what to tell you but $50 worth of fuses is alot
