(25 instead of 20) -------------------- i am awesome

I would put the right size fuses in the amp. Using a fuse rated higher is asking for trouble.

Check all of the power connections for loose strands of wire sitcking out. They can cause a short which will blow the 60 amp fuse. The reason the 100 isn't blowing is because the problem is after the 60 and they are doing their job. Also check the distro block itself. If seen people crack the plastic installing them and when they hit a bump it would short out and blow the fuse.
