      Default Factory stereo keeps popping fuses

      Hey guys, I got an 86 with a factory premium digital stereo, factory wiring and this is the 2 fuse it pops in 3 weeks.

      I was wondering if something could be wrong

      Sounds almost like you got a short somewhere or the system is getting too much power somehow. Did you replace the fuse with one of the same amperage as the original? I'd also suggest removing the head unit and checking your wiring harness. Let us know what you find.
