START by calculating and installing the appropriate fuse size for the stereo, as I suggested (if the 15 amp fuse wasn't already adequate). If that blows,
then you have a problem.
There is no sense in searching for a short until you're sure you have one.

I suggest that there is a wire that has been chaffing against something that is getting progressively worse over time. Wires are usually bundled together and you risk melting adjacent wires with a larger fuse. Thus creating additional electrical problems. Start looking at wires coming through the firewall/bulkhead.
