Yea you can buy a proper sized fuse. Take your amp's rms power rating divided by 12v and it'll give you the fuse's approximate size.
Normally the fuse is 60A but if you're sure that there's nothing wrong with the amp/wire shorts then go one higher like 70A.

Hey Martyn, there's your problem. Two yellow fuses add up to 40A. And you said your main fuse is 30A. Put in 40A and it shouldn't blow. |

Very close, the fuse near the battery has to be greater than or equal to the total fuses in the amp. |
