I bought a cadence zrs c65, but im waiting to get it replaced, but i just realized i may have messed up while hooking it up. Is there a certain way of connecting wires while installing an amp? I think i hooked up the remote first then negative then power last speaker wires... i think some strands from the power touched the remote and sparked a little.. could i have fried the amp?

Check the fuses in your car (under dash probably)... Id be willing to bet it is on of them that blew

if a fuse in my car blew that would stop the amp from giving sound but the amp will still turn on?

Always install with the battery - post unhooked.

Never hook it back up until you double check all the connections.

Outside of that theres no order that should hurt an amp that has no power going to it.

the whole point of the fuse is to cut off power once it's blown, and if the fuse has blown then the amp won't see any power. just check under the hood and find the fuse holder.

yeah negative was unhooked, but think the power touching the remote wire could have damaged it?

it was still getting power so the fuse didn't blow
