If you don't have a short on your power wire somewhere, the outputs on your amp are fried. When this happens, it makes a direct short from hot to ground inside the amp.

Unhook the power at the amp, and try another fuse. If it still blows, you have a short on the power wire. Check where it comes through the firewall, and then check any screws you may have put in...one of them might have pierced the wire.

If it doesn't blow, it's either the connection at the amp (not likely) or the outputs.

Most likely cause of output failure is shorted speaker leads.
