I have a 1400w pyle amp and the fuse keeps blowing when i turn the music up.. i had 2 sony xplod 12" 1200w bridged hooked up to the amp and the fuse never blew.. but i recently bought a viper 15" 800w sub and i have it bridged... the fuse keeps blowing when ever i turn the music up..yes i have checked all the wiring and it is fine....

Kaezoo is most likely right.
Make sure your not loading the bridged amp lower than 4ohms. If so, which prolly is the case, the amp's 'low-impedance' protection will come on when the amp gets hot causing it to shut off until cool again.
You may need a diff. woofer with a 4ohm impedance rating.
Good Luck!

If your new Viper subwoofer is dual voice coil, and if you have the coils wired in parallel, then your amp is wired to a load impedance that's too low. A Pyle amplifier requires a minimum impedance of 4 ohms in bridged mode; a dual voice coil sub will typically present a 2 ohm or 1 ohm load when wired in parallel.
It's not unusual for the fuses on the amplifier to blow when the load impedance is too low, as it forces the amplifier's power supply to draw more current than it's designed for.

replace the main fuse from the battery tru the amp for aone with higher amp rating use 200 amp and you can turn it up your system

Supply a larger ground source. You are having too much of a draw in power.

you need a power converter to log the power from amp to the radio that should resolve the power shortage

Turn It down a little and save your hearing, you may need it when you grow up!

like #2 said. find a better ground and that should solve your problem.

You need a 12v storage capacitor.
