so i just wired up (well almost) my system in my 74 beetle. strange problem that me and my brother have NEVER had happen.

when we go to test that the deck gets power, the fuse coming out of the 15v power wire blows up, (the deck is a Clarion dxz385usb). Its grounded properly, we even tried changing were the power and the ground plug into the harness on the back of the deck. all new wiring directly to the battery as well.
anyone have any idea whats going on?

Take the cd player and test on a different car battery. If it is still popping fuses, it is fubar.
