i took out my amp and sub a month ago, now i'm trying to reinstall them. i rewired everything correctly. but when i try to put the inline fuse back (on the power wire), the fuse blows? i never had that problem before. i've gone thru 3 fuses already.

the original fuses are:
1 30A inline fuse
2 20A amplifier fuses

the 30A (inline power) fuses get blown when i put it in the fuse holder. i made sure that nothing is turned on, even the key is out of the ignition, and the fuse still blew. shuld i rewire the amp in a certain order or sumthin? wut am i doin wrong? theories, guys...

You should always do that. I'm surprised you didn't blow your ACC fuse

well, i looked at the Crutchfield tutorial on amp installation. they say to disconnect the negative battery terminal first. i did that, then i connected all the amp wires n fuses, then put back the negative battery wire. everything was fine. looks like i'll use this procedure from now on.

you always disconnect the negative side of the battery when your doing wiring to the car.
