Somewhere between the amp and speakers there's a short. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Yeah, there is a rwong wire somewhere...double check your install. on another note, Cybe does that really happen if you hook the ground and power backwards...I didnt even think it would power up like that, let alone play at low volumes

That's why I deleted it - I saw the playing at low volumes part. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

If you hook up the power and ground to your amp backwards, it'll blow the fuse(s)(hopefully.) immediately.

How do I know this? .. um, .. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

dont worry man, Ive done some stupid shit back in the day while hooking up equipment...Like installing an entire setup with not only the battery connected, but the car turned on (not with the engine running but witht the key in the ACC position)...Ahhhh the ignorance at the age of 14

It was an honest mistake. I ran out of different colored wire; So I used the same color for power and ground. [d'oh.]

I'll bet Chuck Norris doesn't blow fuses.
