Amp's fuse went bad
what does it mean when the amp's fuse goes bad. is it a wiring problem.
i have had my amp connected over a year now. i had removed the sub for about 2weeks, then when i put it back in, i noticed the amp was not working. i inspected the fuse, and noticed it was bad. should i be concerned, or simply replace the fuse and not carry a concern about it

Your refering to the amp fuse and not the inline fuse that, should be, is on the wire from the battery to the amp?
Is it at all possible that something metal could have come in contact with the amp during that time? Like a loose screw or pliars or screwdriver rolling around the trunk? It's possible something could have rolled against the amp and shorted it, in which case I would just relace it and find the offending bit of metal.

yes, the amp fuse. not the inline battery fuse. it is very possible that something metallic came in contact with the amp. the amp is located on the floor next to my tools, spare tire may have landed on the amp. numerous possibilities.
i did not know that if the amp came in contact with metal it would go bad.
