I just blew this fuse the for the third time, did it once two weeks ago and it just did it twice within an hour first time i had the radio on and this time i didnt have anything on. number on the fuse is 20 and this fuse controls the horn the interior lights and the radio, i have 330 watt speakers hooked up to the stock radio do you think that its drawing to much power and i should try puttin a higher number fuse in? thanks

I would put a big fuse in line of the speakers only. If you put a bigger (read higher amp rating) fuse in front of the head unit, you might fry it.

get rid of the stock head unit and throw in a CD player. I got the 50Wx4 Pioneer in my car w/ pioneer speakers all around and i like it.

Check the cigarette lighter - if anythingthing gets stuck in there it can blow that fuse easily. I went through 5 or 6 fuses trying to figure out where the short was right after I swapped in my headunit. Turns out one of the old screws that held the original head unit in fell into the cig. lighter, and everytime the car moved it would short the fuse....
