I would look at the power supply for the aftermarket amp and any other wiring you may have disturbed when installing the sub amp. It may be crossing with the trigger lead or messed up some other way. If the ground is bad, I do not think it would blow a fuse, just not work properly. I assume that you are using the antenna sense lead on the radio to trigger the sub amp. When diagnosing these sort of problems, I generally go back to zero first. remove the sub amp, hook everything up as it was from the factory and see if it blows. If not, It has to be something with what you have added. If it does, your possibilities are reduced by 1. What is fuse 9? Is it the radio fuse or is it something else?
