Wiring problem, need help. ran out of ideas.

I checked all of my connections. I get between 12-13 volts from the power cable. The problem is once I plug the power and the ground wire into the amp it sparks, and eventually a fuse blows. My ground wire is about 2 ft long and never touches the power wire. The fuse that blow is not the inline fuse, but is the fuse on the amp. I tried connecting another amp, but the protection led is lit. And eventually the fuses blow on the amp also. If u can help please reply.

might be a dumb question but you did disconnect power from battery right

What you do is play the game of hot potato, You're not being very specific as to which order you're hooking the + and - wires up to the amp, you say once i plug the power and ground wire into the amp, which one is it that you plug in first? Make sure the electricity has a place to flow before you go putting + ions into the amplifier, causing the fuses to blow from excess collisions of electrons running into each other like morons because they can't leave through the ground...

That is the most moronic post I've seen in a while. You need to just STFU now before someone actually believes some of your advice that has no grounds in reality and damages some of their equipment and/or hurts themself.
