My car wont start when power wire fuse from my subs/amp is attached.

[Czarkam]

I am new in the game and I need a little help. I have a Pioneer head unit and amp with Dual XOBP12D Bandpass Subs. When ever I connect the fuse in the power cable to my car, my car doesn't start. But when I remove the fuse it takes a couple tries then the car starts again. Is the battery my problem or am I connecting the power wire to the wrong area (currently my battery)? I looked online in the support page and found this:

"Illuminite inputs are designed for 12 volt DC power source only.

Do NOT connect your illuminite product directly to your battery

permanently, as it will cause your battery to discharge. Please use

switched 12 volt source."

If this is the case how do I connect it to the 12 volt source if it is not already?

to a switched source like your lighter for instance.

That's not it. Illuminate has NOTHING to do with it.

Let's see some pics of your power wire install.
