If there were no speakers (or speaker wire) hooked up to it at the time, then you have a problem. Check and make sure that the B+, REM, and ground are all wired into the correct places, and make sure that there are no stray strands of wire touching any other terminals.

like i said no fray wires or any thing but i figured it would have a burn mark an the inside , there were none no speaker wires hooked up. remote positive and ground were all correct

it did this when you turned the car on or when you connected the wires?

try hooking your ground up first and make sure it is a good one.
