And it works. WorkED i should say. Everything is fine, its playing nice, no prob. Rainy day, nothing else. Get in car and hear a whoooOOOMP and it smells like my sub shat the bed. Super. I wasnt even listening, I was on the phone.

So now the HU is off. No lights no nothing. Yeah fuse is blown. Bright idea, let throw in another fuse to see what all broke. In goes only spare, 25 amp. Turns on. All good, turn off truck and pull fuse before something melts. So whats going on here? Something is grounding out right?

The only time I hear that quickly rising sound from the subs is when someone has added the sub amp to a factory system and not installed a remote turn on adapter (signal maker) but just jumped the amp power to the remote connection. They then forget to leave the radio on (or buddy/girfriend/etc) then the amp has no signal but is on and just ramps up until it blows (usually breaks the voice coil on the subs though). Do you have a correctly wired amp remote turn on signal from the head unit?
