Sub fuse keeps blowing.

[Dip]

Travelling up to B'ham on Friday for a meeting, I plugged in my Sat Nav adapter and the inbuilt amp's fuse blew.

Changed it before leaving this morning, turned on the car again, blew straight away.

Checked the in line fuse from the battery - Fine.
Earth cable - fine.

What else could it be? Just hope its not a short.
Doesn't see heavy use, its an FLI 10" for ref..

if its fli,take it back,itll be a problem with the board.when i sell these they either work or dont and the fuse just goes pop.theres loads of places online that sell them refurbished due to this

Really! What a joke. Its not even a year old. I actually bought it from a reputable place.

Thanks Matt.

There must be hundreds out there!
I'm trying to find my receipt for it. Just hope I've not thrown it.

I've found my reciept - Its actually a FLI Trap 10".
Could there be anything else wrong or worth checking before I go down there tomorrow.?

MT Audio - Any idea if this was made official by FLI?

What rating is the fuse? ive got a 60amp fuse for my twin 10" fli active sub.

they havent said anything as a recall as it just seems to be a common issue but they dont seem too bothered about it hence why i dont sell fli,not brilliant having a brand to sell where 1 in 2 might not work
