I got my amp and everything hooked up but when i turn on my system my amp blows the fuses in it everytime. The lights and stuff come on on my amp for a second. I checked all the wires and cant figure it out. Any ideas?

Sounds to me like crossed wiring. What terminal on the battery do you have it connected to?

Try this - hook only the power/ground/remote lead up and fire it up (leave RCA's and speaker wires off the amp) see if it blows the fuse - if so disconnect the remote wire and jumper the power wire over to remote see if that does it....... I had quite a few cases when a screw BARELY pinched the insulation off the remote wire and grounds it its a bitch to find that little spot sometimes too. Try all that and if it still gives you trouble you may have a problem with your amp - and I'd advise taking it somewhere to have it tested before further messing with it.
Good luck.

do you have a fuse between your battery and power to the amp? does that blow too? or just the ones on the amp itself??

:) Check the fuse ratings. If you have access to a decent clampmeter you can determine how much current the amp is drawing. One particular amp I struck recently had a tendancy to blow fuses in the same manner until I discovered a strand of wire was shorting out against the ground and shutting the amp down. Another thing to check is the voltage over the -VE and +VE when the amp powers up and during the shutdown. Note down the voltage drop as it happens and try it at the battery's +VE and at the remote line's +VE.

Is the amp new??
If it is used and is blowing fuses sorry to say but the amp is most likely fried!
If it is new and is poppin' fuses like a firecracker everytime you put a new fuse in it and add power one of two things:
1) you are reversing the current. Meaning ur (-) is being hooked up to your (+) and vice versa
2) your remote wire is not shielded somewhere along the path from your source unit to your amplifier!

Hope that helps lets us know the outcome
