Okay so I just got a pair of subs new amp all that for my 2000 maxima. Everything was hooked up but I think something came undone because the amp wasnt tuning on but the subs still worked. So I went to the back and was playin some music (car on) and was seeing if any of the amp wires were loose so i tightened everything but I loosened the blue wire (remote wire?) and it sparked and everything turned off. I open the hood and found the main red wire hooked up to the battery it's fuse was blown inside the wire so I have to get a new one. However whenever I try to turn the stock head unit on just the radio it wont turn on no matter how i try it. I checked out the fuse box or audio fuses and none appeared to be blown unless its under a certain name or abbeviation which i didnt check. Any help would be awesome thanks!
Yeah I checked the fuses under the hood and on the drivers side but I didnt find the fuses I was looking for Im pretty sure that I blew the head units fuse. Would this fuse be actually behind the head unit when I pull it out? I know how and I reconnected the blue remote wire. And its a Kenwood 1200 watt amp. My car has th bose system in it which makes it a pain but I got the rca adapter and kept the stock head unit.
 
where was the remote wire plugged into? u check the aux and radio fuses?
ANYTIME u install an amp, remove the fuse FIRST then install when it's all good then put in the fuse and start the car. protects the circuitry.
remote wire should NOT spark when u reinstall it. My guess it's installed wrong, make sure it's on the radio or a circuit that comes on when the car key is on "II" meaning all the dash lights come on. the red wire fuse (power) may be too low. be sure it's correct. ask any audio guys and tell them how much juice (power in wattage) u r running.
there seems to be a short if that fuse blew and NOT the amp fuses. recheck those amp fuses though. and redo the remote wiring- blue wire.
