PA1500 Nakamichi 1200 @ 1 Ohm Keeps Blowing Fuses

Hey all,

I've got a PA1500 nakamichi powering a SSA 12" ICON at 1 OHM. This is the second time the fuses on the amp have blown, the 6 15A fuses on the back. I have a 100A fuse hooked up right next to it and that has not blown.

This has happened at very very very random times, all amps are adjusted correctly using an Oscope, no clipping.

08 Acura TL -> Sears Platinum Under Hood -> Stock HU -> ARC ALD -> Mosconi 6to8 -> Mosconi 120.4 -> Arc SE 2075 -> PA-1500 Nakamichi

I've watched the battery with a DMM and I barely see it drop below 13.3v. I need assistance!

Thanks for the help.

Check all connections. Sounds like a bad connection causing high resistance which is in turn causing a current spike.

That or it just doesn't like 1 ohm.

Going to check grounds tomorrow morning. Don't have time today.

This is the only amp that is doing this as well so it seems to be singling itself out.

Have you tried wiring it 4ohm yet? Blowing fuses like you describe in DIYMA is a bad sign.
