check and re-cheack your wiring. Usually a short causes smoke but it COULD be an internal fault with some of your kit...

mate get some gauge 4 or 8 for your power cables and rewire the whole fooking lot. Wack a fuse near the battery with the CORRECT FUSE (the total AMP-age of all of the devices on the power cable) then that should sort it out 
No offence mate, but thats why you get speaker wire and power cables....replace it ASAP before your goes up in flames..or give it to someone who knows what there doing

thats dangerous to do.
get a 4 or 8 guage power cable with an inline fuse.
read up some ICE tutorials mate.
if u were using a thin 18+guage cable for power, i would be expecting fire, not smoke!
