Posted October 28, 201014 yr Hey guys I am hoping one of you guys know what is wrong with my amp..It is a older model rockford t1000 and it worked fine a few weeks ago, my sub stopped playing and I assumed I blew the sub and I found out I did.Well I find out that the amp won't power up or anything.. It popped the 150amp fuse on the amp itself and then I replaced that fuse and it popped the in-line fuse to my 4awg power cable.Soooooo I replaced that fuse and when the amp turns on it makes a very high pitched squealing sound and then pops a fuse.. There is a loose rattling on the inside but it has been that way and worked fine since I have had it even though it rattles on the inside.Should I take it apart and look inside for anything fishy? I got it in a trade and I don't think it would be under warranty so might as well?

October 28, 201014 yr Author Well I went to open it and you have to have one of those 6 star hex keys to open it up...This amp it too beastly to just let go to waste.
October 30, 201014 yr The amp itself is making the noise? If so, normally that is the power supply giving 100%, like if it is trying to power a shorted output stage.... Or the power supply is bad. But if you blew the sub, could have been the output syage going bad...
