Brand new install in a 78 Corvette. Kenwood Excelon KMM-X704, Kicker 47KSC4604 in the front, Pioneer TS-A1680F 6.5" in back, Alpine SWT-12S4 sub, and Soundstream T5.2500DL amp. Ground is attached to passenger seat (tested good with multimeter). System worked well after initial setup. Configured amp / radio with O-scope and set gains with multimeter. Once all was tested and configured, it was time to finish up the cable management. Disconnected negative cable from battery. Routed all wires. Connected negative cable up, had a quick spark as cable contacted battery, at that time the amp sizzled and smoked. The fuse in the amp did not trip. The fuse in the 0 gauge positive wire to the amp did not trip.
Question: Why did the fuses not protect the amp? Do I have a faulty amp? Recommendations?
Thanks.
