disconnect the amp and check the voltage with the fuses in... i had a crappy fuse/fuse holder, then i got a circuit breaker and no more problems. i was getting the same weird readings with my DMM.

On my dmm it means that you have the ends of the dmm backwards, ie dmm + on something that is -.

Do you have a friend that has a system? If so see if you can try your amp in their vehicle. It might be a pain, but it'll help you figure out if it's your amp or the wiring in your car.

Here's an idea.

Unhook the amps completely.

Leave the fuses in (make sure the + lead doesn't touch any metal).

Put the + DMM lead on the end of the power wire (the one that goes to the amp) and put the - DMM lead on the ground where the amps are grounded.

If it still has a funky reading, then it's not the amps.
