Disconnect the noise makers, then see if the fuses blow. If they do not, look at how you have those toys wired in and to which fuses you connected them to. Besides destroying your hearing and irritating other people, aftermarket amps draw a real lot of current and will blow fuses that are too small. You generally need to run fused power wires for amps right to the battery.
