make sure your +12V and your ground are not reversed at the amp. I did that before. The fuse blew instantly.

Disconnect battery ground cable. Connect amps with fuses. Reconnect battery ground cable when you have checked all wires and connections 3 times. Everytime you complete the circuit you will get a spark.
