How did you check the wiring? DMM? Is the ground good? Remote wire connection? No shorts on the speaker outs? Need a bit more specifics so we can help ya bro'! //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wow.gif.23d729408e9177caa2a0ed6a2ba6588e.gif

Try unhooking the fuse that runs from your power wire under your hood. Then connect your power wire to ur amp. Then reconnect the fuse. If ur fuses still blow there could be another problem some where else.

usually if a amp blows the onboard fuses it has a short inside the amp......

check your power wires with a dmm to make sure you are getting power and be sure the hot wire isnt touching anything... check your remote wire and make sure its not grounding out anywhere...

if all your wiring is good and the amp is getting power...do not try to put fuses back in the amp..it is protecting itself from a internal short. if you keep putting fuses in the amp, eventually the amp will not protect itself and you will let out the magic smoke we all love to smell....lol

what kind of amp do you have?
