Shorted out my radio i think... keep blowing fuses
i got subs in the trunk and aftermarket front and rears.... monster cable wiring done by some stereo place... i keep blowing the radio fuse in the engine bay... i checked the fuse for the radio which is by the clutch/ footrest for you automatic peeps... and it is fine... only the 15 amp or whatever keeps blowing under the hood so i just asked autozone what could be causing it and they said probably shorted something somewhere... so i checked the ground to the battery and its still connected right behind the headlight fine... and i dunno where else it could be or what could be shorted out.
Any common places that short out?
I dont have time at the moment to take it back to the shop where i got it done.
Let me know thanks in advance.

your backup radio keeps blowing right? (7.5 amps) thats what kept happening to me when i took my radio out and played with it or whatever. I would just recheck all your grounds on everything, make sure no bare wires are exposed. You can also try putting in a higher amp fuse in the fuse box

dont do higher amp fuse....check all your grounds....for you amps in the trunk...and to your headunit...also check your remote wire from the headunit to the amps...it might be shorting on some bare metal if its scuffed up anywhere....
