becasue there is a short somewhere in your power line between your fuse holder and your am[

exactly.. that fuse is more for protecting against current flowing backwards it is not really necessary but good to have... also makes replacing it easier then replacing one in the amp lol

the power supply is probably shorted and trips the fuse for safety. This is what we do - specialized in car audio repair, please feel free to contact us at 1-866-489-8934.

That's incorrect! that is the most important fuse in your car audio system. Should you have a short to ground anywhere after that fuse and up to and including your amp, it is the only thing protecting your car from burning to the ground. Most equipment comes with it's own protection fuse, so your job when installing is to protect the wires installed that are carrying the juice. Please refer to the site below for more information on proper fusing. Goto the site and scroll down the right side to #14 "fuses" and read it completely!!!

Current flowing backwards? Intriguing. How does that happen? And how does a fuse stop that?
