Why did my fuse blow as I drove over a speed-bump?

[Firetruck 10+ year member]

I have a 60A fuse on a 8 gauge power wire, and today it blew up

I was driving over a speed bump diagonally, and then the music stopped, when I got home I checked out the amp, which was fine, then I popped the hood and saw my fuse was shattered. It was jaggedly broken in half.

the speedbump wasn't anything extraordinary, but it was umm...bigger than average I guess. Is my power wire set up wrong? I don't want to have to drive slow whenever I go over speed bumps...

The music has occasionally stopped while hitting speedbumps prior to now. Whats wrong?
