definatly sounds like a bad ground. Make the ground is as short as possible, and sand down the paint where you put it.

and how are you "resetting" your fuse?

sounds like the voltage is dropping too low when cranking the car. This will send the amp into protect mode.

I also have an amp that can be reset like yours does. This fixes the problem until the next time you crank it.

Check the voltage drop when starting the car by using a multimeter.

If it drops below 10.5 volts that's your problem. I capacitor will fix the problem
