1) Connect your ground wire to the amp and to a clean metal part on your vehicles body (The rear seatbelt anchor makes a good grounding point)!
2) Run the power cable from the battery to where your amp is.
3) Fuse the power cable
4) Connect the power cable.
Wire your subs up to it, plug in the RCAs last, and then if it shorts, I'd get a new power wire.

*Edit*--Plugging in the RCAs last is a trick to rid of speaker static, I made the mistake of plugging in the RCAs in the middle of my installation, a friend simply disconnected, and then reconnected them, and be damned if the static was gone.

But, check the ground again, if by chance it didn't blow the fuse when you plugged it in, it could be a bad ground, gain controls...

this thread keeps going in every direction, if you dont want to cause hundreds maybe even thousands of dollars in damage to your electrical system that $.30 fuse is your best safe gaurd. As for the install spend $20 go to wally world and get an amp install kit, it could save a loy of headaches if thats the problem.

As for the install heres some install guides and digrams

Do it right, 12v might not sound like much but it takes less than 1 amp to kill you. Also make sure tha amp is capable of being bridged, you could be causing damage every time you blow a fuse if its not.

As for the rca thing, ive installed them at many different points in my install and i have never had interference problems, thats usually cause by bad grounb, cheap rcas, and other electrical systems carrying current over the wire making it pickup that current as signal noise.

Read, do research google if you dont understand, but listen to what everyone is trying to say there is a cause to this and it takes steps to figure it out, we cant see the setup so we have to guess from what you give us.
