this is what threw a red flag up at me...Make sure the wire isnt chaffed going through the firewall. I know you have a grommet, but in car audio anything can and usually does happen. Also make sure all your connectors have completley covered the wiring. All it takes is one strand to cause a short.

and also go back and recheck your wiring. Even if you know it is right.

if you didnt have a fuse in you would have a dead amp! Congrats on finding the problem but make sure to keep your eyes open for expensive mistakes.

Im not exempt either there are a few guys on this forum that almost watched me fry 10k worth of amps when i flipped my autotek 4000's on at 18v.
