If you screwed the fuse holder together and it started working, that may be a problem with the fuse holder or it may be a broken fuse. Those screw together fuse holders are garbage usually.
For the fan wiring, you can either get a temperature-based fan controller or just use a relay switched with the remote turn on wire. If you use a relay, make sure that the remote turn-on wire has enough current capability to switch the relay coil on. This depends on the type of relay and the head unit obviously.

Don't ever do that again. Seriously. Use a real method to find out if you have power or not, like a multimeter (or even a test light in a pinch).

get rid of the the fuse and get a breaker. i have a mobile spec one and its amazing, if it trips all you gotta do is just flip it back on. saves from a lot of hassle.

glad to hear you got it all worked out. As was said before never screw driver the amp, its bad for the amp, and could be really bad for you.

Okay...
The fans:
I bought a radioshack 12v computer fan roughly a 4inch circumference...
output on this fan was higher than any other there.
I'm going to try this fan alone and see if my overheating problem occurs.
should i still use a relay, if so... what size? where to buy? what kind? lol i'm veryfamiliar with electronics but never played with relays yet
I'm off work tomorrow if anyone wants to throw in a hand or word of advice... i get up round 8ish... 757 927 9639 located in portsmouth. (cradock)
thanks a million for the reply's and great tips guys!
