Sub blowing Christmas lights?


I need some electrical help. I've plugged some Christmas lights into the outlet my sub is hooked to. Fuses in the lights.have blown twice while plugging in to this outlet. They work in other outlets so it's obviously something in the outlet. Could my sub be doing it?

I can't imagine that the sub is doing it. I can't think that an over load on the circuit would blow the fuse in the lights. It would blow the circuit breaker. I am sure the plug on the lights are polarized so you can't try turning the plug 180 degrees and see if it is a polorization issue. Does it occur as soon as you plug the lights in or as soon as the sub comes on? Do you have a surge suppressor that you can plug into the shared outlet then plug the lights into the surge suppressor?
