Default starter again

So I replaced my starter after trying to hotwire the car and not getting any reaction. Car started right up, worked fine for a while. However, the "new" starter just burned out. I've only maybe run the car five times since installing it. It was a rebuilt starter though(figuring spend 30 bucks to see if its the started instead of 100 and being wrong).

So I'm guessing that my wiring is screwed up and just drawing way too much current or voltage to the starter, which is in turn just frying them left and right. I'll have to pick up a voltmeter and check. Does anyone know exactly how much voltage or ampherage should be sent to the starters? Or does anyone have any other solutions?
