I have a 60A fuse on a 8 gauge power wire, and today it blew up

I was driving over a speed bump diagonally, and then the music stopped, when I got home I checked out the amp, which was fine, then I popped the hood and saw my fuse was shattered. It was jaggedly broken in half.

the speedbump wasn't anything extraordinary, but it was umm...bigger than average I guess. Is my power wire set up wrong? I don't want to have to drive slow whenever I go over speed bumps...

The music has occasionally stopped while hitting speedbumps prior to now. Whats wrong?

Yes, it was designed with the help of Steve at Amp Medics. They are great amps, I have many friends that run them.

Send it means play it. I didn't say send it back. I'm sure it's fine.
