[QUOTE="helotaxi, post: 1776962, member: 550915"] You power wire shorting out prior to the amp won't affect your amp fuses at all. The short occurs prior to the amp and basically no current will flow to the amp to blow the fuses. If there was a short, the underhood fuse would blow. Why were you making changes to the wiring of the system with the battery negative connected? The first thing you should ALWAYS do is disconnect the battery ground. Once that is done all power is removed from the car. There will be no arcing when you connect wires. You won't have to worry about a spark frying the circuitry in the amp. You won't have to worry about shorting a wire to ground and burning the car to the ground. Chances are that you toasted both amps with a power spike while you were hooking them up. [/QUOTE]
