Fuse blow

So, just last week i installed an aftermarket head unit (Sony MEX-BT3800U nothing amazing but it does for me) and 2 new vibe slick 5x9 front door speakers.

Everything is working fine apart from one thing, the 3 amp fuse in the cars fuse box keeps blowing everytime i turn the volume up loud. In my haynes manual the 3 amp fuse is the " instrument cluster, radio, navigation, DVD player"

When i installed the head unit i didnt buy the wiring adaptor, i just soldered and heat shrinked all the wires myself. Ive checked if there is any loose wire sticking out but theres nothing, so its cant be shorting (i dont think).

I was thinking it could be:-

-higher in car fuse (maybe a 4 rather than a 3)

-speakers on the wrong way (p-p, p-n, n-n or whatever)

Any other suggestions guys?

It would be cheaper, it might be easier to find a place to mount it, and you would have a ton of options if you just do two, 3 slot fuse holders...

My bad, yes, I read them each as having two 4ohm coils. The JBL diagram left a bit to be desired, IMO. ;) And a double yes, thought U was talking...

I plan on getting the fuse to run as a front sub/midbass in my kick panels...I've heard they sound good but you definitely wont get mirror shaking...

Sounds like a bad ground or wiring problem on the 12v+ side.
