I gentlemen am the one with the sick amp .  I have very limited 
knowledge and if I only understand one thing it is that the amp can kill 
.   I checked the fuses with the continuity tool and the ohm meter per 
someones instructions . (thanks) Both fuses appear to be open .  I have 
ordered a few new ones and if it works Great if the fuses either don't 
do the trick or blow again I will send it to the mother ship .  I have 
taken no offense to any of the remarks but think of all the hams out 
there who driven since they were 16 but wouldn't attempt a tune up or 
repair of there vehicle .  Hell , I can't work on my truck either !  All 
the best .  John Molenda kb2huk
