try the ground make sure its tight. also make sure your speakers have the right resistance.. if your at 1 ohm on a 2 ohm stable amp, thats why it blows!

This is exactly what's wrong with your fuses. Normally, you can play a lower load than your amp was designed for at low levels, but once you crank the volume or gain it will pop.

Don't just put a bigger fuse in before verifying your ohm load...that's how cars catch fire.
