No Amp Power

I Mistakenly Hit The Positive And Negative Cables Together. The Ones That Connect Into The Back Of The Amp. Now My Amp Doesnt Power On. I Looked At That Fuse Thing That's Connected To The Positive Cable On The Battery And It Looked Kind Of Burnt Any Ideas?

Do You Mean The Fuse On The Poisitive Cable Or The Fuse That's In The Amp?

this is why you should always unhook your battery when working on your system. At the very least take out the inline fuse to your amp. Bet you'll do it next time huh? I'm sure about everyone has done this though, usually takes a screwup and scare like this to learn to do it though.
