ok so this has me stumped...my friend decided he wanted to put some subs in his car, so we got a wiring kit, and i got to work....once i got the power and ground wires, remote and rcas ran we hooked up the amp then went to connect the neg. battery terminal and sparks started flying from the termina //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/eek.gif.771b7a90cf45cabdc554ff1121c21c4a.gif l, i then disconnected the battery, hooked up the neg. first, then the pos. and the fuses on the amp blew. i thought maybe the ground, but its fine...i tried everything i could think of and i'm pretty sure i fried the amp because it was smoking from the level inputs. i'm not a newb i swear but this is killin me.

this is his first system and i had an older a jensen 4 channel(i know //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/blush.gif.99bc659ee2012b7d826165e26fb5eebe.gif ) we were gonna use so it didnt matter if like the amp blew up or anything.... but i dont want him to buy a bunch of stuff just for this to happen to it too

and you double checked the post's and the connections on the amp to make sure nothing was hooked up backwards?
