Hi all...
The problem: My RB-991 blew its main 12-amp fuse the other day (the fuse you can easily change from the back). I tried 10-amp fuses, but blew three in a row. No other components or speakers were hooked up to the amp. I unplugged the amp from the wall before swapping fuses.
There was no delay... put the fuse in, plug in the amp, turn on the power and "poof." The fuses were blackened on the inside.
History: Amp hasn't been used for a couple of years. It had an easy life before that. it worked fine for about half an hour, then the fuses started blowing.
Next step: Try a 12-amp fuse. (I could only easily find a 10-amp fuse... Trying a specialty store tomorrow). I didn't think the 10 vs. 12-amp difference would matter, but maybe it will. It'll be a slight inconvenience to drive across town to get a 12-amp fuse.
Help!... what could be going on? The store I bought it from isn't doing retail anymore, so can't help me.
thanks in advance.
