Amp problem
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. Chris

Fuses blowing.
 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.

First off.............
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
