Based on my experience with three Titan 425s over six years, I'd say you are 
being FAR too alarmist. I would only open it and start troubleshooting if a 
replacement pair of fuses blows more or less right away. It is NORMAL for 
these fuses to blow every six months or so, and at unpredictable times, and 
for reasons unrelated to the power amp.
