I bought a FLI sub with built in amp and wired it all up but everytime i connect power or earth, it blows the 30A inline fuse.
Have I done something wrong or is the sub/amp knackered?


Thanks in advance.

There are three terminals on the back, +12v which goes to the battery, Gnd which goes to the earth bolt on on the nearside rear light.
Then remote which goes to the back of the headunit.

I cant see where I have gone wrong.

Not sure on the guage, but Its as soon as i connect the power to it or even just touch the terminal, its as if im touching the power cable on an earth.

Only fitted it last night and I inspected the power cable.
