!!HELP!! Please ASAP!

I just got my Alpine 7894 CD Player 2 days ago from Onlinecarstereo.com, I installed it it worked fine then today I went and bought some temporary speakers for the front and rear to replace my factory speakers, I bought 2 jensen 3-way 61/2's for the back and 2 jensen 2way 61/2's for the front once I hooked the back up I got the radio up to about 24 volume and everything just shut off (the radio, and the digital clock on the dash) no power, no nothing so I checked all my fuses and then checked the ones under the hood they had 1 (7.5) fuse blown I changed it and my radio worked again so I finished installing the speakers and the front speakers.. I road with it like that for a lil while but didnt turn it up but to about 17-18 volume.. then later tonite I was leaving a party and turned it up to 23 and yet again... blew the same fuse what you think is wrong? HELP ME PLEASE let me know if I may blow my radio or speakers before it happens [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG] honest and intelligent answers only ASAP PLEASE!!!~~

PS: NO FLAMING YES I KNOW JENSEN SUCKS!!!

Hmmm.. it's possible the Power wire (+12) volt wire is a little corroded at one of the harnesses and and it causing too much resistance in line which overheating your HU and shorting it.... It's also possible that the new speakers you installed are shorting something.... Either way..problem is a short somewhere..time to re-check all wiring

I was told a minute ago by Advanced Auto Parts that it was my battery (I have a faily small *** battery) and it was not putting out enough power to run everything, aswell as a higher amper alternator so what do you think? New battery/alternator or go ahead and re-wire? Also if anybody can get me a wire diagram of the 92-95 5th Gen Civic would be GREATLY appreciated...

you wont need a new battery or alt if your just running a new deck and some speakers. unless your going a full out system with 1k+ power. your stock will be more than plenty.
