This amp has two inputs so that a cap can be connected easily or dual power / ground wires can be used. Disconnect the speaker lines and rca's Does it still pop a fuse, if yes then either the remote on is grounding out (which would probably kill the cd player) or the amp is pooched. Reconnect the speaker leads, does the amp shut off, then do the rca's ------------- Top Secret, I can tell you but then my wife will kill me.

well what I think the problem is, is that the fuse in which you have in, is too small the reason I say this is because if I am right that amp bridged will put out 800watts rms and if you take that 800 divide by your vehicles voltage lets say 12.6 then your amp is pulling roughly 64amps so a 30 amp fuse is too small...... hope that helps ------------- If we learn from each success and

thanx

4 gauge power cable should fit in that amp (unless you just shove it in the opening). You are going to have to twist the 4 gauge power cable tightly until it will fit into the opening.
