Default Need help with fuse question

I have 2 fuses that are blowing, labeled rad1 and rad2 in the passenger side engine fuse box. I know these are for the radio and these are rated at 30 amps each. I have the radio display working but no sound. I'm assuming that these are hooked up to the amp and speakers but I need to know what exactly is hooked up to them.

I know I need to check for a short, which is why the fuses are blowing. I know that the amp is in the trunk and I need to check the speakers individually.

Any help, advice or diagrams would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

make sure that your speaker wires in the trunk arent touching any ground that it shouldnt be. Ive seen people come in to dealerships saying their radio doesnt work. when the trunk is opened, theres hella junk in there and it clipped a speaker wire making the power touch ground before the load.

Thanks Panda. I'll check it out. My trunk is usually clean except for the engine covers but it's worth looking into. I guess I'll be busy this weekend tracing wires.
