Both amps fried but fuses not blown ??
 

hi all,
i managed to blow the phono outputs on my headunit the other week (think
wires touched in the boot when i had the system out and a carpet in the
back).
now got a brand new head unit,no sound at all from the sub (have changed
phono leads etc.),driven by an old kenwood amp.
my 6x9s driven by an alpine amp sound ok up to about 1/3 volume,then the
sound goes really crappy,distorted,volume fades in and out(the front
speakers are powered from the head unit and are fine).
both amps power up fine,and no fuses were blown the other week there when i
suspect the wires touched(phono and live,probably).first thing i knew about
it was when i refitted the stuff and had no sound.
so.........is it possible that i've fried the amps (without blowing the
fuses) ??

question where did you buy the fuses there are some discount places about
selling mixed boxes of fuses which are a positive menace, having the same
thickness of wire in 5amp as in 35amp- visible on close inspection. I know
as a short fried my wiring instead of blowing a fuse be suspicious and
check closely if the ampage is moulded rather than printed on
