The 8 gauge is your amp power wire, if it had a short in it, it would be popping the fuse by the battery, not the radio fuse. Did you use a wire harness when you installed the radio? If so, I'd completely remove the harness. Put in a new fuse and turn the key. If it doesnt pop, then your problem is the wiring from the Head unit to the wire harness.
