help me track this down

[pluto 10+ year member]

voltometer showed low voltage so I had the alternater changed and it did the same thing untill I took the fuze to my system out. Now my truck runs fine with my system completely shut down. Does this sound like a grounding problem. I havent really looked at it closly yet. I want your opinions as to where to start looking for thre problem. Im thinking maybe my power cable rubbed into and is shorting out the system. :crap:Thanks

If the power cable was bare and touching metal then the fuse would pop if everything else is wired correctly.

Thanks man, you are correct about that. maybe my speaker wires have come off and are grounding out . Any other ideas. Thanks

Id just start check out wires. Make sure they are connected securely, no corrosion, fuses are still intact on the amp, fuse block, etc.
