Amp wiring help

[coolme2k]

Im wiring up my vibe blackbox 1 amp, but everytime i try and connect the power it sparks and blows the fuse. Before i connect the power i connect everything else like earth.

Make sure the wires are on the right way around, it happened to my mates amp and he had the Earth and Power leads on the wrong terminals. Killed the amp

Double Double check that earth! Make sure it's not touching or is near any other positive terminals, and make sure its a good one! Also make sure the positive terminal is iscolated from touching any surrounding metal work, as this will cause a short.

Check under the carpet around the back of the seats, there should be at least one bolt there, if it's painted scratch the paint off...
