Question:

Blown fuses (subs?) amp in protect mode now? Helppp?

Alright so my setup is a sony xm-zr1852 1000w amp and 2 12 Dual 1100w subs. One day i was driving along and started to smell a burning scent then looked back and my trunk was smoking, shortly after that the subs stopped bumping. I pull over open the trunk and there is smoke coming off the subs. I check the two 30amp fuses in my amp and they are both melted. I replaced the fuses and now the amp is in protect mode and still no bump.What's the problem?

Answer:

The amp probably has a burnt component inside. I doubt that amp is meant to handle more than 60 amps, and from the looks of it, it was pulling that much for a while. You probably were clipping the signal way too much. Your subs are definetely blown.
you probably blew your subs, or fried the amp
