How experienced are you with installing? There could be many things wrong from the amp being bad to a short circuit somewhere. I have never heard of that brand. Trace your wiring and be sure everything is connected where it is supposed to be and no bare wires touching, like make sure connections at the amp terminals are clean and tight. I pressume you did go directly to the battery for power? If you haven't installed before you might consider getting a pro to do it for you and if you do have experience you probably know about as much as I do. Good luck.
