Angry car would not start after blown power fuse for car audio..

after i got my car audio installed, i notice a whining noise when i gas.

so after posting my problem on the site, someone told me to check the rca, power and remote wire.

basically what i did was check to see if the rca is separate from the power and remote wires.

after checking, the rca, power, and remote wire was all going to the passenger side. so what i did was reinstall the rca and remote on the driver side.

after reinstallation, the audio would not work. i check the fuse and found out the fuse was blown (this was the power cable fuse). after switching the fuse, i have audio.

but now. i cant start the car. i think i blown something else; maybe another fuse?

can anyone help me out?

Check all grounds and postives at the battery and starter.. i had a same problem (not because of audio) where it just clicks wen i turn the key. In my case it was the starter solenoid. Hit it with a hammer , you might have a sticky starter..or u might have to replace it..hopes this helps

Mine does that clicking as well. In my case, the battery is too dead and/or not making a good connection at the terminals. Replaced the battery works 100% again.
