Ok, this same setup worked before but now all my amp does is blow fuses. First, its just a puny 100 generic amp and I have it running off the power seat wires (its in a taurus and it has power seat wire running to the passenger seat, but its no a power seat) and the amp just hooks up to a PA speaker in the grill. Everytime I hook it up and put in a fuse, it blows it instantly. Now all of this worked before but I just hooked it up again and now it doesn't work. Any suggestions on what's going on?
 






Make sure you're using the right fuse, and your wires are in the right spots, ground to ground, power to power. In one of my amps the fuse kept blowing, at a closer look I had the ground in power and so on.
 






If the amp's frame/heatsink is metal, dont secure it to the floor with metal screws or anything. Make sure you have the right sized fuse... make sure the wires are clean, not frayed. I dunno, keep pluggin.
