Sign of a bigger problem, do not continue to upgrade the fuse or keep replacing it. Find the cause of the problem. A little more info on the vehicle and exactly what is used on what would be nice.

What models are the amplifiers?

1200watts RMS + (I'm guessing --> ) 35 x4 watts RMS = 1340 watts RMS.

You may be using the wrong size wiring, depending on the models you're using, and the distance between the battery and your amplifiers.  More details please...
