Main Fuse keeps blowing up

My dad & I bought a new battery today at walmart and he got the wrong one. We put it on and the main fuse blows up. I go and exchange the battery to the one that WE should have gotten and bought a new fuse. Put it in and the same thing happens. What could be the problem and how can I fix it?

You are hooking the battery up WRONG.
the Negative cable is actually the one with the Yellow stripe on it.
to 'prove" this,Look where the postive cable goes to from the Battery.
also check ther COLOR of the cable at the Bolt on the engine(the long starter bolt) it will be Yellow Striped..That means NEGATIVE and Ground,.
