Hey all, i have a 98 neon, and i'v taken my sub and amp out of my other car to put in this one.
But now it keeps blowing the fuses out of the Amp.
Is this because of a bad ground? or something else??

If you know.. it's would be very helpfull

Thanks

Be more specific.  It's hard for us to tell you what the problem is when we don't know much about your situation.  Which fuse(s) is/are blowing- the main fuse under the hood, or the fuse(s) on the amp?  Does the fuse (do the fuses) blow right away, or only when you turn it up really loud?  What is your amp rated at and what are the fuse ratings?  Also, what fuse rating are you using at the battery?  How are the speakers connected to the amp/ at what ohm load?  Is the amp stable to that load?  How was the system setup?

As you can see, there are many key factors that can play a role under the conditions you gave.  If you could elaborate, we can help you diagnose the problem and figure out if it's a wiring issue or an equipment issue.
