Is the fuse of the the correct rating?

Is your amp buggered?
Those that can, do; and those that can't, talk about it.

damaged cable, buggered amp internals, dodgy earth (check battery to chassis earth too). try a different amp to see if that changes things. and remove the power line and see if there is any chafing/damage.

I went through two fuses in two days last week.

My problem seemed to be the ground. It had come loose from the lug on bodywork. Put a new lug on there and its been ok since.

Check the ground to ensure you have a good connection either end.
