Won't the empeg stop functioning if the fuse is blown? i sure seem to remember my MkIIa not working at all untill I tore the dash appart and replaced the fuse.

Anyways, I've got the same problem happening when i've got the empeg playing and then decide to start the car. It's a low frequency thump, so the majority comes from the subs, but it goes through the cabin speakers too. I'll try hauling out my backup and make sure they both do the same thing. Is there anything I can do to get rid of the thump?

Thanks,
Matthew
