sounds like a definite wiring problem. Was there a sound system in there beofre you bought it?? Usually home installations are #1 for wiring problems.

told ya....You HAVE to re-run every wire that is fried. My mustang did the same thing and caught fire underneath my middle console. Scary as hell when you driving down the road and a fire happens!! Anyway re-run all the fried wires or it will get worse.
