After loosing 3 more fuses I came to the realization that the fuse would blow even before the initial power on. This was how I would set up the circuit. Everything would be hooked up to the computer (the power, ground and rem). Then in my fuse distro which is in my trunk, right next to my computer, I would slide in my 20A fuse. Every time, whenever I put in the 20A fuse it sparked, which I figured was slightly normal, a little weird since the car wasnt on and the PC wasnt on, but normal. Then the 15A in the M2 would blow. Remember the car was off the entire time. Did I do something wrong? Is it a problem with my ground? My amp works fine (it runs off the same positive from the battery, connects to the distro block) so Im guessing its not the power wire, but I dont know. I would say its definetly not the REM wire (right?). So maybe its a problem with the ground. Its grounded where all the other things are grounded (2 amps). Maybe the wire is too long, but even so would that make sense? What is trying to pull power when the PC is off? I dont get it.
