What are the ratings of your amp and subs? Or if your amp is not capable to power the subs in the way you have them connected, that could be the problem. If the amp is a bridged 2 channel you need to be sure the final ohm configuration of the subs is 4 ohms minimum. Also, how far is the fuse from the battery?
