    If the fuse is blowing, you've got a short, and it's probably in the plate amp. You can take the sub in for servicing, or call polk customer service and ask how much a plate amp is if the sub isn't under warranty any more. You'd also get a discount for being a member of the forum.

    Welcome to the forum. Sorry it's under such circumstances.
