Blowing fuses after install

Hello all again. It has been sometime since I have posted on here, but I am now at a point that I need some help. I now have all of my system hooked up as of last night (I will post pics on here soon). However.... When I went to power everything up, I noticed that my sub amp was not coming on, but my four channel is. So, I looked at the fuses, and sure enough they are fried. It does not go into protect mode or anything, just straight blowes the fuse as soon as power is there.

Now to give you some background on this. I have a 0 gauge power wire from my batt to a 150 amp fuse, then it goes into the truck. From there is goes into a distro block, that has two 4 gauge power wires that goes to each amp. I have the ground run as well in the middle of the two amp on top of the hump that goes around the tranny, but closer toward the back. I also have the REM ran as well, 16 gauge wire i think, which goes to a switch (which was turned off at the time of hooking up power).

So, at this point I am at a bit of a loss, I looked at the wires, and everything appears to look just fine. I will go back through them today, and see if maybe there is a wire somewhere that is toughing something. I also wonder if it might be my ground too, but I would have to take eveything out to get to that, so that might have to wait till this weekend. Please help guys as I dont want to start burning my investment up after doing all this planning, and work. Also I will try to up load a general pic of the finished product.

    I forgot to add, that the Apline amp powers up just fine, and I get sound up front no problem. It is just the sub amp that is cause my issue.

    I would probably start be disconnecting the speaker at the amp, in order to see if the amp is actually the problem.
