I honestly dont know why your fuse blew it shouldn't have, my suggestion to you would be upgrade the fuse and the power wire to the amps and it should be fine my friends running more watts in his truck stock battery and alternator and he hasn't had problem with his fuses yet but hope this works for you

could of grounded some where i'd go over all you wire and look for wire showing thats the only reason i've ever had a fuse blow on my power wire

i'll have to give the whole set up a quick check.

thanks for your help

best places to look are where you went through the fire wall or anywhere it see bare metal...or if your like some people that run it up through the door jam could of gotten pinched somewhere along that but best bet is some where on metal it couldve grounded

i got a 4ga amp kit and i ran it through the existing wiring grommet that has the bulk of electrical wires that run from the engine to the interior.

it coulda grounded where it goes into the trunk but i can't really find any suspicious spots.

i am about to go get more fuses and see what happens

again thanks everyone
