i've got me fuses now, and wired the whole system up fine, one amp works on its own, by my new kicker will not.
and they won't work together - the component amp just hisses through the speakers, but with the new kicker disconnected it works fine 
it's earthed, it ain't blowing n e fuses but it will not come outa protection mode..
what can i check for?? im sure the earth is ok cause i tested the other amp and it works fine...
HELP!!!

a lot of poeple drill through the spare wheel area.. Be sure to scratch off all the paint and use a self tapping screw to hold it in place. Probably the best place to ground the amps

i've just found a manual on the amp and my combination of fault lights don't even exist!
RED (power) and yellow ( fault circuit) are on together, they don't say n e thing about that combo 
i've tried the earth cable from the other amp ( which works) and this amp still will not work
i had a glimmer of luck though - it came on as jsut a red light, then it blew a fuse....
think i might have to take it back might be a dud
