Ok so I got my car and I put in a line converter for the time being for my subs to function So i go to my cabin fuse box follow a wire that looks like the accessorie and i splice into it and connect my remote cable that way just like the dude at the shop told me. So everything is working fine But then when the remote wire was disconected to be tucked into the carpet it sparked. I turn the car on again and the power mirrors dont work, the door locks,the trunk button or the entire stereo....

I checked the fuses they all seem to befine but Im on my way to the shop to purchase some more fuses....

Does anyone have anyidea what the problem can be?

I apologize for the grammar and probably all the mispelling...kinda in a hurry

 
you probably wired the remote wire to a hot 12v line meaning its always got power going through it when the car is off, and you let that wire hit the chassis, which is what all your electronics are grounded to, and you more than likely shorted out all your electronics or the wires connecting them.

always disconnect your battery when doing that stuff with wires

but if youre using the remote wire like that you probably dont have a designated switched 12v like i do, i shorted mine out, so what i do is run a jumper wire from my amps 12v battery- in to my remote- in. i use a 14g wire with a fuse on it incase it does short and wont go through the wire all the way, when you disconnect that wire to turn the amp off, just make sure teh wire doesnt poke through your carpet, wrap it in tape or tuck it between two peices of wood.

 
Its hard to say, if nothing works it could be the wires, maybe a relay under the hood, or the fuse box under the hood. i would take it to a mechanic just to see whats going on, but other than that like i said its either fuses, wires, or the actual components themselves.
