Find out why the fuse blew in the first place
a blown fuse is a symptom, not the problem.

Unwire the power to the woofer, connect a spare light bulb from the emergency kit you carry around with you at all times because it's the law, then turn on the ignition. If the bulb lights, it's the woofer. If it doesn't light, it's the wiring.

You're too sensible.
Get off the internet.

When it comes to automobiles, I'm Captain Fucking Practical
Plus, I really want balders to diagnose for himself the cripplingly expensive problem he has in his car wiring.

Crippling piffling.
He can just buy a few metres of twin and earth cable and rewire the whole kaboodle.

Ideally on the outside of the car for maximum Heath Robinson effect.

If fuses are blowing, something's shorting
which could mean chopping out entire sections of loom, or even the fuse box, which if left to balder's capable hands means an electrical fire and the complete devestation of whatever Korean fucking shitbox car we're talking about in the first place.

A video
as the sparks start and then the seats catch fire and his clothes catch alight so he's running around frantically bashing himself trying to put them out when the fuel tanks catches and only then does he remember to stop, drop and roll.

unfortunately electrical fires don't really look like that
you get a brief puff of smoke, an acrid stench and then thick clouds of noxious vapour. Your car must be an utter shitheap to start with if it manages to burn through to the fuel hose or into the cab.

That's why I'm sure it would go up like a rocket

Now you're just giving him ideas for his next podcast.
