Default Biketronics Amp
I have been through three or four of these amps now. I love the amp. My problem is I keep blowing the inline fuse which then takes out the amp. At first I was grounding it to the side of the radio. It lasted about an hour. After talking to them I then grounded the amp to frame by way of the clamp on the frame that holds the main wire harness. Each time I did that the amp lasted about three hours. I am just wondering what's going on here. Or if I should just run the ground straight to the battery. I have the Polk momo speakers. I am baffled as well as Mike from Biketronics. Any suggestions would be great.

Yes ground back to the battery and fuse the ground side also and see if this takes care of it.
