Pico fuse blows... literally... figuratively...

My pico fuse blew 3 weeks after getting my unit in. I completed the circuit using an in-line glass fuse holder that I soldered to the points and secured the holder outside. I loaded it with a 1A slow-blow glass fuse. This fuse blew about 3 days after it was installed. I then completed the circuit using a spring in place of a glass fuse. Screw these pico fuses. Anybody else had this problem? I know mine's probably related to poor grounding of my 2 amplifiers, but c'mon! These fuses shouldn't even be implimented!
