Default Strange sub power issue - seatbelt realated?!

Ok, not really expecting anything here but I figured enough people here have systems so maybe someones experienced this...

First off, installed subs last weekend, everything worked fine.

12V from batter to amp, fused in the engine bay
Grounded in the trunk, where the tool kit bolts to the body
Remote wired from unused antennae harness per a thread I read about on here

Now, pulled everything out (subs, not wiring) to gain access for my coilover install, when I hooked everything back up it all works fine until..... I buckle up. I only tried the front two seatbelts but as soon as they went in, the power light on the amp would go out and that was that.

I haven't hit anything with the teest light because I'm too tired/sore to want to put any more effort into it that making this thread....

Anyone?

you hooked something up wrong when you put it back together, go and open it all up again. something's probably shorting somewhere. (pinched wire or something).

have fun.

So I ran a temporary remote directly from the deck to the amp and everything worked as it should. Now, I really don't want to tear everything back out to run another wire... I'd love to still pull from the antenna (shown here, last post) but for the life of me I can't seem to find the fuse I popped.

I've literally pulled every fuse under the dash/hood and can't find the blown one. Am I missing something here?
