fuse seems good. it seems to be well grounded by a bolt on the cage that attaches to a frame. did i blow the amp by sending a signal in though the rca outs?

head unit is a clarion ARX7470. it's an old but nice unit and i have a 12 disc cd player with it so would not want to lose it.
I believe the purple set of RCA's is for your sub-out... meaning, you don't have an aux-in with that HU via RCA's...

Not sure if trying to input voltage on to those outputs will blow the HU though... I'm sure someone here can tell you about that.
