Word of advice, don't jumper fuses. There is a reason that they are blowing. Your gonna fry that amp. Check you power wire for cuts or breaks and clean where you ground touches.

check your voltage, low voltage will blow the hell out of a fuse.
also are you using the correct size fuses?

must be an amp you dont care about much. if your blowing fuses, your getting short somewhere or can be a problem within the amplifier. use the RATED fuse, see people doing the old "ill just put in a bigger fuse" fix. wrong way to solve a solution. imagine if we did that in our household fuse boxes. FIRE!
