if its at a low volume its not gonna be drawing more than 60 amps. Id check your earth and lives matey, they can come lose at any time, especially the grounds :S

Plus just double check for any strands poking out, sometimes they run astray and even one strand shorting can cause major problems.

Whatever you do, dont replace the fuse with a higher one. If its at low volume then the problem could cause a fire :|

if ur sure its not drawing in more than 60amp then it has to be a dodgy live feed. it is shortin but like AustinPXX that system looks like it will be drawing over 60amp when u pushin it!

Well if the fuse blows when your cranking it up, you need a higher rating fuse.

If it blows on any volume, there is a problem.

what sub amp is it? does it draw more than 60 amps? if not, there is either a dodgy earth connection for that amp, or a dodgy live even coming from the distribution block.

If all else fails, amp is faulty.
