Amp problems please help

[Yodaman]

I just installed a new system in my truck. Sundown audio x8 v.2 d2., 2- sundown sa v.2 tweeters crossed at roughly 35k hz. , 4 ct sounds neo PA 6.5's, kenwood excelon 592 head unit, ct sounds m-75.4 midst and highs, ct sounds at1400.1 mono block. And a clarion m360 active crossover. My problem was that my amp was clipping as soon as the sub started hitting good and then go into protection. My bass knob has a light that tells when clipping occurs so as soon as it came on I'd turn it down. I've tried everything to get it to stop clipping the sub can handle way more than I'm able to turn it up before clipping occurs. Today driving it went into protection I turned the hu off and back on and the amp didn't come back on. I pulled over to check it out and my 150 amp fuse was blown. I replaced the fuse and now as soon as I turn it on the fuse pops. I'm pulling my hair out trying to figure this out. I've had 20 plus systems and never had these problems please help me

Check your ground. And while your at it, check your wiring.

It's grounded to the bare frame but I'll take it off and try a different place.

Also could be 1 strand of wire touching the ground or power.....w/o you realizing it. Hey it can happen.

Thanks I'll try to swing by there but I think the amp is toast it shipped directly from Amp medics. With it clipping so bad and going into protection all the time at low volume and now blowing the fuse as soon as it turns on I think it is an internal short
