check the wires leading to the sub. it could be shorting out somewhere causeing the fuses to blow on the amp. maybe a wire came lose and is making a connection to antoher wire or your box could have shifted and pinched your wires.//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/confused.gif.e820e0216602db4765798ac39d28caa9.gif

or you could just be pushing your amp too hard. is this happening on certain songs or all songs?

will it happen if your not playing anything and just turn the volume up?

Because it's a problem now //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

As mentioned, check for back/loose connections, power or ground loose, etc...
