Fuses in amp keep blowing!!??

I have reinstalled my Clarion DPX1800 amp, which is powering my 15" clarion sub. It is the same set up as before, just with new power and ground wires. Everything is installed properlly but everytime I go to power it up, the three 30A fuses blow instantly. I've gone through about 15 fuses, can someone please explain to me what is wrong?????

The amp is cooked. Take it to a repair shop.

after re installing it, check your speaker wires, Another thing, Check to make sure your power and ground wires are not touching anything(or each other) but sounds like the amp has taken one for the team!
