Any ideas how that would happen? Short in the wires somewhere? Is it possible the amp is drawing too much power or the sub because of where I'm connecting into the wiring harness for the rear amp?
How did you hook up all the wiring? Did you hook up the amp power directly to the battery? You may want to move your ground to more isolated spot in the trunk; I have used the seat belt buckle bolt in the past. Check all the speaker level input wires to make sure they are not crossed and on the proper channel. Also make sure the remote turn on is not touching anything. Does the car work fine if you don't power up the amp?
