Fuse blowing when radio turned up?

I just bought new 4-way insignia speakers hooked them up perfectly but every time I turn the volume up the chime fuse blows. The car is a 96 Saturn SC1 the radio is a Jensen VM9412. Any help on how to fix this is appreciated.

    Recheck your wires. Obviously something is touching that shouldn't that's why the fuse is blowing which means you didn't hook them up perfectly.

    Odds are that one of the wires is shorted out. Go back and check to see if there is any raw wire touching another wire or the chassis.

    If you still can't find the problem, go back and rewire your headunit and speakers and then readjust the settings on the deck.
