Default i keep blowing my logic memory fuse 3amp A6 ,than car dies and wont start

i hooked up a new stereo and new front speakers , than night my car died along with the head lights and than wouldn't start , there was no power the the starter , than i found the logic memory fuse was blown ,i put in a new 5 amp didn't have a 3 amp , and it stared right up ....than the next day, i put a sub woofer in my car , with an amp, also bought new 3 amp fuses , when i would turn my stereo up to a high volume the fuse would blow everytime, i did this three times before, i put all the volume to the front speakers than it didn't blow after an hour of lessening to it at a high volume ,it blew again , so i put in a 5 amp fuse with the volume only to the front speakers and it hasn't blown yet ...
so can someone tell me why this fuse might keep blowing ???
i think its the back speakers are bad they are still stock maybe there shorting out ??? i dont know

First of all never a good idea to replace 3 amp with a 5 just asking for trouble. I had same problem and my buddy just moved it over to a open 25 amp fuse and the problem was resolved

Yes, that's the point ! There should be a unused 25 or 15 amp fuse in the right side fuse box. Your system is probable pulling more than the 3 with hold and it's burning it up.
