Make sure the ground in less than 18 inches long and has good contact to the metal. What size fuse is in the amp? What gauge size power do you have to the amp? If it work not running the car something has to be lose.

Most amps have the same size fuse in them. If you have 50 amps of fuses and they are what should be in the amp. You need 6 or 4 gauge power wire from the battery to the amp. Also put a 50 amp fuse at the battery. The ground can go to any metal on the car. Also the ground needs to be the same size as the hot wire.

Don't go replacing fuses in your amp. You have to replace the fuses with whatever rating the fuses are supposed to be, not whatever you feel like trying. It should tell you in your owners manual or even on the amp next to the fuse holders.
For the ground, find a place with metal right near your amp. The ground should be 18 inches or less in length.
