Raising the value of a fuse will not solve a problem with power wire that is too small.  The power wire should be replaced with a gauge that will easily supply the current demands of the amplifiers without getting too warm.  You can use the power wire gauge chart in the help section of this site.
Build the box so that it performs well in the worst case scenario and, in return, it will reward you at all times.

I was going to raise the amperage on the fuse after I put in the 4awg wire.  Right now it has a 50amp fuse on the 8awg wire.

well after getting the amp in, two more tweeters blew.  One blew in about half a minute,  the other took a few days.  I switched them out for the better pair of Memphis with a seperate crossover from the speakers.  After taking a DMM to the last one that i blew, I think that i was blowing not the tweeter itself, but the bassblocker(filter) that was wired in inbetween the tweeter and clips.  It didn't have continuity and everything else did.  what woulc continuously blow those? too much heat? i ruled out the clipping with the amp
