Default Stock radio and fuses

While out cruising on saturday my radio suddenly goes out...Ok, probably just a fuse. Get home pull the fuse and sure enough it was blown. No biggie i pop in another one and like 30 secs. later that goes, try a new fuse and that one blows. One more fuse and that one blows too. What the heck is wrong with my car?

You've got a short somewhere else. Check all the wiring to your speakers and from the amp and deck too. I bet a wire came loose and is touching the frame of the car or something like that.

Thanks for the reply. I figured it was a short somewhere.

Had that exact problem with my car about 2 months ago.
Turned out there was a screw going through the remote turn-on wire for my sub's amp. Must've hit it when putting the panels back on.
Fun stuff!
