Short?

Alright, I'm very pissed right now..But think it could be a simple problem..all the lights are low as ****, and like my brother when we where trying to do my head unit..he hit the wire against metal. We ran a seperate test wire to my battery to the back of the head unit because he said something and i believed him..now. like everythings all dead a few minutes after the wire hit the metal and sparked.

Whats going on?

If everything is dead, its prob the main 75 amp fuse. My friend blew this fuse on me when he tried to jump my car and hooked the cables up backwards.

Nick, did you check the fuse to see if it was blown? Not trying to put you down man but do you know how to tell if a fuse is blown?

Umm... possibly. HAHA. They hooked it up backwards because I didnt have a normal battery in my car. I have a baby battery because of my intercooler piping.

my problems solved. we had to rerun a few wires, ex:rear speakers, delete the front amplifiers, and a new ignition wire from head unit to the ignition. and something else i dont remember.
