Fuse Keeps Poping

[Alpine CDA-9815 10+ year member]

I have a Memphis 16-PRD1000.1 hooked up to the stock head unit with a Soungate LOC4.2. Anyways everything was working fine for the first few days I had it hooked up, then today for no reason at all the subs just stopped working. So I double checked everything and couldn't figure out was wrong. I then though to check the remote wire's fuse and lone behold it was done. So I thought alright I'll just put in a new one and that will be that, well that one and everyone after I put in has died. Any opinions on what is wrong?

BTW I hooked the remote wire in a spare 12v where the rest of the fuses are.

The LOC does not have a remote wire so I was told to look for a spare under the dash, I had 2 so I used one. The remote wire is going from the amp to the spare under the dash as suggested. As I said it worked fine till yesterday.

try a different output on the fuse box or use a test light to make sure its not grounded, make sure the remote wire is not pinched, spliced along the wire somewhere

what size fuse are u using on a remote wire?

I was using a 20 amp at the time it first happened, then tried another 20 and two 15's and all poped. I'm thinking if anything the remote wire got cut somewhere and is maybe grounding itself? I was tugging on it to get it to fit under the plastic to make it fit today, so first thing I will do is check that.

I'm also thinking of just buying an aftermarket HU. Though I wanted to keep the stock look so I decided agenst that...
