Your Rubicon amplifier is protected against both overheating and short circuits by means of the following circuits:
+Main Power fuse
+Smart Power Supply Thermal Rollback activating at 85°C
+A failsafe thermal protection circuit activating at 95°C
NOTE: If you experience blown main power supply fuses, it is iikely‘ 
that the amplifier is seeing a dead short, either in the speaker wire or in the speaker itself. Rectify the problem before blowing multiple fuses! DO NOT increase values beyond the original fuse value! Doing so will void your warrant and may damage your amplifer.
