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.
