Why do I keep blowing my fuse?!?!

I bought new fuses.... Got the "fast blow" as opposed to the "slow blow"<<<Talk about a double entendre conversation with tech support! Lol
Anyway, anyone have any insight, please, as tech support couldn't finish the job.
Thanks!
* I'm thinking this is a case for mo!

This first.
This sounds like it's a car system so I'm not much help there.
I'm guessing you've got enough power from your amp to push it through that much sub, right? I would think Customer Service would have caught that.
I'd rather shower at Penn State than root for Michigan.

I do have my 12" from the receiver, then my 8" off of it....and it's my home theatre system, mo-- No need for a car stereo... Lol
As far as if I have enough power, I'm not sure..... What would be the "equation" I'd need to know to know that?
I've talked with both Sony and monoprice without results from either.
I'll get my specs together and post them as far as my receiver and my woofers to see if that's of any help......I've also read quite a bit thru searching on the Internet, but, the things they've spoken about are definitely Greek to a lay person like me! I've never done two woofers at the same time before.
Thanks again, guys!

Okay, so what we've got so far is: You're trying to push two subs off of one jack, then daisy chained from the 13" to the 8". So you're 13" has an output jack on it, right?
And are they powered subs? That's a biggy.

Both subs are powered.
If this doesn't end up working, definitely no big deal as either of these two are totally awesome in delivering house shaking, rumbling base (you can feel it from your feet all the way through your chest!! Lol) during movie or music playback....but, I do love my base! Lol
Thanks for the help!!!

Sound systems really aren't my thing though. I have always left that to the other guys in the bands I've been in, especially since some of them are very good at it. I've learned a lot over the years but not enough for my word to be the end all be all.
What I would do is get a Y adapter (monoprice is great for this). Hook that into your receiver (amp) and run your cables from the y-adapter separately to your subs instead of daisy chaining them. That should take care of it.
Before doing that though, does the 8" work without the 12" hooked up at all? If not, then the problem is the 8" sub.
I'd rather shower at Penn State than root for Michigan.

You'll want to ignore the colors. Make sure you're plugging in both white cables into the y-adapter that you plug into the white jack on the amp. Same with red. I think it will work but no promises.

I happen to have a few of those Y adapters on hand already, so will be trying this hook up next week.
Btw, yes, my 8" works fine on its own. Made sure of that before I ordered my fuse replacements.
Thanks again for the help, greatly appreciated and I'll letcha know how it turns out!!
