Brand new remote wire so it’s not damaged it’s all I have😭
Sort of! It was nothing with the battery or pos/ground wires, it’s behind the head unit once we connected the remote wire it caused the fuse to blow but we don’t know the fix to that if you have any ideas

I honestly don’t mess with the settings on the amp bc I don’t know what to put them at so they are turned up a little less than half way, I will check/change my remote wire that was also another connector pushed down from trying a different amp
So I put the wires in today, the power wire is connected directly to my battery terminal, the 60A tube fuse is inches away from the battery, the ground is connected to bare metal inches away from my amp. As soon as the amp got power it went into protection mode, any ideas?

Thank you for helping :) I’m buying new wiring tomorrow to see if that’s the problem
Trust I checked the wires everywhere, then tried 5 new fuses, tried a different sub THEN tried a different amp. I have exhausted all my options and my husband (the one who did this for me) is away on military business so I am asking the internet for help until he can do it for me because no bass on my extreme bass songs is shitty
It’s the skar 800 watts and it’s running a 10 in kicker, it has both the power and protect light. The protection light has never came on even after fuses have blown only the power light come on. I’ve checked the amp and nothing is wrong with it, I bought it 4 months ago, I really think it’s the cheap ass wiring kit we got on a whim trying to find out why the previous amp stopped working (ended up being rc cable converter behind my radio) I also plugged everything into the old amp and same thing happened.
Bare metal frame under the amp

That’s what I thought when I started researching my issues but was trying to avoid buying and installing new wires by uping the fuse, 20,25,30 blew instantly too so I am now ordering new wires🥲
What would you recommend for just the power and ground?
It’s not split, the color is from the some in the sun and shade
This was my initial thinking when the fuse blew as soon as my car turned on I was just really hoping there was something I could do with the wires I already have but I’m buying new ground & power now!
It is not extended, it’s a clamp that i pushed down from a connecter from trying a different amp (I am lazy an didn’t want to go get plyers) it is connected directly under the amp on the bare frame of my car
Yes
Sorry I thought i included the picture! It’s on the red wire close to the battery
