Default radio WTF?

I have a 98' avant with the concert radio. I recently blew a fuse,when I replaced it the radio worked for about 30 sec then blew the fuse again. That means a short somewhere right? But, thewires in the harness at the back of thehead unitlook fine as does the fuse in back of head unit. So where the F!@# is it? Is there a relay/voltage regulator somewhere that may be bad? Any help would be much appreciated, before I pull out my hair or take it to a stealership to have it looked at!!![sm=feedback.gif]

You need a new radio, the radio itself is shorting out. The stock ones are about $300.

The dealer for stock, or www.crutchfield.com for aftermarket.
