What amplifier?

What subs?

What do you have ran for power wire?

Do you have a Digital Multi-Meter?

whats the fuse size, whats the amp size? are you using ring terminals or do you just have the wires screwed into the amp. Is your amp sliding around? More info!!//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Start with wiring,a bigger fuse,and also a good ground

If you are blowing fuses at the amp and not under the hood then you probably have something shorting inside the amp.
