i already know the answer to this stupid question but a guy i know doesn't believe me. anyways here it goes: can a 60 amp fuse work in an amp that only takes a 15 or 30 amp fuse?? or will it cause a short in the amp or make it blow up?? sorry for this guys, but this guy is really pissin me off.

sounds like a short, electricity takes the path of less resistance, a wire will pass as much power as it's source can provide minus the resistance.

one thing you did wrong, you should'nt not hooked up the main power when it was live, you're supose to take the fuse out (from ur power wire at ur battery) before hooking it up to the amp. I don't know if that could have caused damage to the amp tho...
NEVER put a higher rating fuse, the amp could have been damaged before it came in but by doing that you pretty much left yourself to blame for the amp not working just as much as Jnutz. Because of that you can't tell for sure if you messed up the amp or if the amp came in messed up.

I am not going to say anything about the transaction. I think the boards are not the right place to discuss this type of issues.

IMO, all threads relating to this should be deleted.
