[QUOTE="mtech2, post: 358395, member: 551121"] Yep....sounds like your power wire is shorted....Are you using a cap? If you are make sure to charge it (slowly) first and then connect your power leads. Amp COULD be shorting to ground (even with the car off), however this is doubtful. Disconnect both ends of the power cable and use a DVM to measure resistance between ground (car body) and the freshly disconnected power wire (make sure the ends of the cable are not touching the car body at ALL). If you measure anything besides infinite resistance you have a short to ground in your power wire. [/QUOTE]
