You might need to install a relay. With a relay you will give the radio the same amount of power, but it won't draw as much from the battery. There are videos on YouTube for installing relays into a car stereo system. Or maybe there is just a short somewhere - a hot wire touches a ground?

If it's blowing the fuse after listening to the radio for a while, and you've got a nice stereo system with big speakers I would say relay.

If it's just a basic stereo with nothing more than factory speakers, I would say it's a short somewhere.
