I have a sony xplod 500 watt 2 channel amp. It is a bridgeable amp. But every time i bridge it and turn up the music the fuse keeps blowing. What could be the problem.

If it's happening only when you bridge it, then most likely the speaker impedance is too low for the amplifier. Most Sony amps require a minimum 4-ohm speaker impedance when bridged. If you have two 4-ohm subs and they're both connected to the bridged amplifier, then the impedance is 2 ohms.

it could be that you wired it wrong, that is what happened to mine when my guy installed it. I took it to a professional and it was installed incorrectly. What also could be the problem is that the amp isn't strong enough for your subs. Also I have come to find out that sony amps aren't exactly good, so what u might want to do is get a better one. Try craigslist.com or your local flea market.

if your new Viper subwoofer is twin voice coil, and in case you have the coils under pressure in parallel, then your amp is under pressure to a load impedance it extremely is too low. A Pyle amplifier demands a minimum impedance of four ohms in bridged mode; a twin voice coil sub will many times present day a 2 ohm or one million ohm load while under pressure in parallel. that's commonplace for the fuses on the amplifier to blow while the load impedance is purely too low, because it forces the amplifier's potential furnish to charm to extra present day than that's designed for.

It is obvious that the amperage rating of the fuse is being surpassed, even if it only for a moment. There is not enough information to give you the solution, but stop putting fuses in it unless you really like buying and installing them for fun.
