there is no fuse you need a cable that goes to the battery that has a fuse check you're ground

there is no fuse for this amp you need to use a cable that goes to the battery that has a fuse

no just probably killed the battery and popped some fuses ive done it a few times

its ok it will work as long as u didnt hold it on there probably kill your battery tho but your amp is ok ive done it bout 5 times no and mine still works the same just had to replace the fuses in my amp

yep, assuming the sub has a total impedence of 4 ohm or higher.

This amp is rated at 200 watts when run at 4 ohm load when in bridged mode (mono).You will need to check the measurement of the load at the amp's positive and negative location where it meets the speakers. You are actually going to need to measure the load of the speakers on the amp. If it ran too low of a load, meaning less than 4 ohms, there is a good possibility that the amp overheated and damaged some internal components due to not enough resistance. Some of their amps have internal fuses that can be replaced. It may be time to visit a diagnostic shop.

Good luck!

It uses external fuse provided by the cuctomer.

first check the ground. it should be directly to the frame and bare clean metal...no paint! then check the ohm load from the subs its probabily too low causing it to go into protect. if there a safeload for the amp back your gains down...never go below 3/4 of the way electronics do not proform well when they get hot!

there should be some sort of protection between the battery and amp. fuse this might be blown

well let me start by saying your trying to power way to much on this little amp you should be using a 5 channel if you wanna do all that try just hooking up the front speakers and 6x9s

1. Start by undoing your ground.
2. Use a jumper cable to hook up the ground to the battery ground.
3. Install fuse and test.

If it continues to blow you have an internal amp problem.

If it fails to blow a fuse you have a problem with the chassis ground.

If it is a ground issue you can chase down the various ground straps and clean the connections or you can run another ground cable to the chassis (body) ground to the battery to reestablish the connection.

I TAKE IT THAT YOU ARE REQUESTING A SOURCE FOR A PAIR OF ENDCAPS FOR YOUR PUNCH-200IX. IF THIS IS THE CASE, I SUGGEST THAT YOU CHECK EBAY ON A WEEKLY BASIS AS I AM SURE AFTER SOME TIME, YOU WILL SEE A PAIR LISTED. THERE IS ALSO A SELLER ON EBAY THAT HAS MANY OF THE LOGOS FOR THE MANY DIFFERENT MODELS THAT CAN BE PLACED ON ANY OTHER MODEL ENDCAPS FROM THE SAME SERIES (DSM, IX, X2, ETC. LET ME KNOW IF I MISUNDERSTOOD YOUR REQUEST......V

The end caps screw on to both ends to hide the cables and wires. Not required unless you don't wat to see any wires in a surface mount type install. Does not affect performance

this is only a 2 channel amp matey soo would only run 4 at the max if you use 2 on one channel and 2 one the other but i wouldnt push it no further then that
hope this answers your question

Hello jon_jonmay,

Wiring 4 speakers to each of 2 channels, you will need to wire them series-parallel and run them at 4 ohms. If you wire all 4 parallel, the load will be 1 ohm and the amp is only stable down to 2 ohms.

According to your manual, the 201s will deliver 50 watts into each channel at 4 ohms . So it will be supplying about 12.5 watts per speaker which is about what you get with the average factory radio. They will work OK, but they're not going to be very loud.

Hope this helps.

With...

 

The meter set to DC volts

The black lead on the ground terminal of the amp

The red lead alternately on the remote and the B+ terminal

 

You should have read 12+ volts. If you did, and the power light was not on, the power supply was not producing regulated voltage. This is generally due to blown power supply transistors.

 

Ordinarily, if someone wants to repair their amp themselves, I'll try to walk them through it but this amp requires more than basic skills and tools to replace the power transistors. This is best left to an experienced tech. Try to find a reputable repair shop in your area to have it repaired.

 

If you can return it, you should do so. Do not remove the back cover if the tamper-evident seals are intact. If you do, the seller will almost certainly refuse to refund your money.
