Blown fuses are caused by an amp draw higher than it's supposed to be. That can happen if you put in the wrong components, or if the wire is shorted somewhere.

If it was my choice, I would come up with some witty saying for the avatar. I can't change that.

The moderators who have been here long enough have custom titles... I don't plan on bugging the admin for one.
