Default Fuse problems

My fuses for the instrument cluster/tail lights keep blowing out. All I've added since they started blowing out was front speakers.... but I don't understand why the other fuse is blowing and not the speaker fuses... if that were the case. It's a 1988 CRX HF..... anyways... I would understand that the speakers might make the fuses blow... but why not the speaker fuse? I don't know... it's aggrevating me... Anyway.... any help is greatly appreciated.

Eh.... never mind... I think a bare wire is the problem... (I also put in a new deck... and I didn't check the wiring to well....) .... I didn't think about that...

that happened to me in a 94 teg... installed a sub with a deck I'd already put in, and out goes the lights.... ahhh!! I tore it apart again the next day and found that the dimmer wire to the deck, although cut, had landed perfectly against the support for the dash, and shorted. I just taped it up, replaced the fuse and tada!! lights....

yah everytime i put my car in reverse i blew out the fuse, every time, some idiot at autozone told me that this was normal in older honda and to use a bigger fuse and thatll solve the problem so i did, ended up burning out the wires, all over a bare wire off the ghetto rigged stereo system that was installed badly, had lots of wires just swinging around everywhere, always make sure u cover them up with electrical tape next time u decide to hack away at the wires if ur not gonna do it right, ive learned my lesson the hard way, over and over again.
