Default ignition out(i think)

i believe my ignition on my car is out. heres the deal. friday we put TSP true duals on the car. started it without the mufflers to hear it, started up great. put the mufflers on, bolted everything up. started it again no problem. i gave it a few revs and turned it off. my friend wanted to let me hear it so he tried startin it, and nothing at all. i checked all the fuses today and found the IGN fuse under the hood(50A). put in another hopin it was a fluke. blew that one. got another fuse, turned off all accessories and everything. tried it again and blew the fuse instantly. my theories based off of this are that my ignition is fucked, or my starter is screwed. any ideas? or things i can try myself? im goin to try to bring it to somebody tomorrow, but id like to start troubleshootin myself
