Amp is borked or sub is blown would be my guess

Something is shorting somewhere. Let's play a game of find the short!

I took my ground wire out and when I reattached it that's when the fuses blew

In line fuse is not damaged Idk if I need to reground my wire somewhere else. All wires look intact. Idk what I should do next

Are the fuses on the amp popping?

Or he has an internal short on the amp, blowing the fuses and putting a heavy load on the alternator

i just know mine kept acting like it wanted to stall and volt meter was reading all over the place.. lol all he need to do is go to auto zone and have them test it.... lol its free...

I'll give you all the rundown maybe we can get to an understanding. I've had the system hooked up for about 2 weeks now grounded to the same place. On the way to work the other day I had the system bumping, as I always do on my daily commute, and all of a sudden the sound stopped from my subs. I looked back and saw my L.E.D. lights still on so I pulled over. When I put my car in park that is when I noticed the "not as smooth" idle and the l.e.d. lights flickering and in sync with the idle. Checked my wires everything was good. Checked my fuses in the amp they were not blown at this time. I drove on to work and when I parked I noticed my interior lights flickering like my amps led lights. when I turned off the radio everything stopped. Yesterday I ungrounded my wire and pressed it against another place I had sanded and when I turned the car on I noticed a pop at the amp that happens around the same time it would turn on. Blown fuses. I have an RE audio ctx 3200.1 powering a c2 audio threatcon-2 d2 wired to 1 ohm. Tested woofer and it still works

When I unhooked the AMP the rough idle stopped
