My Fuse Keeps Blowing! Help Please

[DSHORT 10+ year member]

Ok so I understand I am new to car audio, SO PLEASE CRITIQUE ME AS MUCH AS NEEDED I have only been messin with it for around a half year but I need critical help. Ok, I have two 12" Kicker L7 dual 4 ohms, I have a Power Acoustik OV2-2600 (crappy I kno). I also have a 4 gauge Knukonceptz amp kit. so this is what happened. I installed everything. I wired the two subs to 4 ohms, and then bridged them to the amp together, I put the positives from both subs to the 1st positive channel on the amp, and the two negative speaker wires from the subs on the 2nd channel negative. (bridged mode, as you all know) anyway, I think this might be the problem but I am still not sure, I don't really know if you can bridge two subs to a two channel amp. Also I have an excellent ground. But I blew my first fuse due to not taking it out of the holder like an idiot, and then I used a ANL fuse instead of a AGU and blew it of course. So then I got another 80A AGU fuse and put it in there and it played consistently for about 2 hours. And then that fuse blew too! So I guess what I am asking is, is what could be the possible reasons to why this third fuse blew? Great ground, so that's not it. I think the most reasonable reason to why it has happened is because I bridged two subs to the amp. Please don't put my stuff in your signature deals, because I really am trying to learn and I'm aware there are stubborn idiots on here that say ridiculous stuff, but I'm not one of those people. So please help

that amp has 3 30 amp fuses. use like a 100 or 120 amp fuse in your fuse holder. make sure ur power wire isnt pinched anywhere

Will I need to get another fuse holder, or can those fit the fuse holder I had for the 80A? Also what do you mean but pinched? Kind of like a kink in a hose? thanks for the reply

i would have wired the subs differentyl. you should only have one posative wire and one negative wire coming from your speaker box to the amp.

Well I have two terminals on my box, and it's a two channel amp? So I'm prolly just going to wire them to four ohms and forget the bridging and all that. But also do you agree that I should get a 100 or 120A fuse I believe the other guy I would just like another opinion before I invest money into anything else.

get a bigger fuse and put it in your fuse holder and since you have d4 subs wire them to 2 ohms and put one on each channel

Thank you sir.. To the guys who said that I needed a bigger fuse, you were right I went and bought a 100A fuse and it's worked ever since. Thanks
