How the hell was the wiring run??? The main power should be connected directly to the battery, with at least a 40A fuse run within 12" of the battery in line of the power wire. Unless you ran the power wire off of something like a cig liter or something, there should be no reason to melt a fuse box. The only thing that should be run off the fuse box is the remote for the amp, and sometimes that isn't something you should be doing. Installing an aftermarket dvd player should be a walk in the park, for it pulls almost no amperage at all, especially a 12v dvd player. You should stay away from home 120v players, as the inverter usually messes up the signal. Make sure you have it professionally done, as there is no reason you should skimp on price after you have dropped $35k-$40k on a car. I am not getting on to you, but it seems like some people on here want to take the cheapest route possible on installing various things on there car. It's not a civic. Oh, and welcome.
