fuse in amp keeps blowing
 

i got a pioneer amp and fuse from my friends sister for free because the fuse in it was blown and she didnt know what was wrong. well i put the amp in my car and sure enough the fuse i put in blew. since it was happening to both our cars, im guessing it has to do with the amp and not the wiring, right? the wiring in my car was powering the 8" sub in my car just fine.

its a 200 watt amp. its a good bit old. probably older than 5 years.
is there anyway to fix it?

You can,but why would you want to.. My double din has more power than that..

Remember when an amp blows a fuse its a safety precaution in most cases... You may not be able to visibly see the problem
