Also I forget to say that even when I unhook the speakers from the amp, it is still in protection. The amp is bridged.

And this happens with both amps? Weird.

Time to check your RCA, power, ground, and remote wires.

Yea that is the same thing I am thinking. I am going to get ride of the kit now and go with a 4 gauge amp kit instead.

i had this same prob and it was the in-line circuit breaker wasnt the right size for the amp and it couldnt handle the power going through it...before you go get a huge power cable look at your in-line fuse/circuit breaker and see how many amps it is....usually standard 20 or 40 amp fuses are used

When I tried the second amp the sub still worked fine. The green light would blink and I would hear the sub catch a single but that is it.
does the black casing on the inline fuse open up? because if it does then the fuse is right under it and says the size on the top usually in white numbers

If the fuse cant handle the power going through it, it will pop. That is how a fuse functions.

The fuse is fine. I am going to check the wiring of the sub also. Because I think it has been wired wrong.
