Default Blowing inline fuse

Installed 8 speaker BT system and sounds amazing! But if I turn it above 26 it blows the 30 amp inline fuse.

The wire doesn't feel hot before or after it blows.

I was told to install a 35 amp fuse, but I have yet to find a 35 amp in the mini fuse anywhere around me.

Everything seems to be installed right. Ground was to frame neck and now back to battery with same result.

Any suggestions?

What speakers? Any tweeters?

Check your polarity, and ground. I'm pretty sure on BT's small connection is pos.

7.1's in fairing and rear pods, 6.5's in lowers and 6x9's in lids powered by 4180. No tweeters.

What about a 40? those usually come in the pack. But I'd give BT a call on Monday

* correction- I couldn't find anything bigger than a 30 in mini fuses as well.

Thanks to Bill @ Biketronics my system is sounding great and I'm now no longer blowing fuses.

This thing rocks!
