I'm having trouble getting my head unit to control my subs.
80Hz is a common setting for 6.5" and 6x9 speakers
120Hz is common for 5.25" speakers
you want corresponding low pass and high pass crossovers, remove the bass from your speakers.
what size fuse did you use? what does the amp recommend?
did you verify the impedance of your subs and the load they present to the amplifier?
is the amp wired for stereo or mono?

I'm not sure how to check the crossovers in my subs?
30 watt fuse. The one next to it, that lights up, is also a 30 watt.
I'm not sure how to check that either? unless you mean the ohms?
It's wired for stereo.

your subs don't have crossovers in them. they have voice coils.
fuses blow when current through them exceeds their rating. that can happen from a damaged amp or too low impedance load at high volumes. if you disconnect the speaker wires, does the fuse blow?
are the subs 4 ohm DVC or 2 ohm DVC?
use a DMM and measure resistance across the speaker leads - disconnected from the amp as described above.

4 ohm.
Okay i'll try that.
Thanks.
ok, if they are 4 ohm DVC, and are properly wired in parallel, then the amp should be seeing a 2 ohm stereo load. this should be ok, but will extract maximum current from the amplifier.
what is the gain setting at? does the fuse blow at a certain volume level or even with the volume low?
if the amp fuse blows when the subs are disconnected, the amp is bad.
ignore the capacitor fuse and just remove it for now. you only care about amplifier fuses. you should have two 30A fuses in the amp, and if you have a fuse on the amp power wire it should be 60A.

I just now noticed that the second fuse, that lit up, was blown too. I only changed the second one. Do you think that having one fuse working and the other not working would cause the working one to go out?
I'm not exactly sure what that one is, but it's suppose to be made for a 4 gauge wiring kit.
Also, My ground wire for my capacitor is a power wire. Is that okay or not? Someone told me that it was the same thing, and i'm beginning to doubt that. But the thing is that my capacitor still works. ? It was working the 2 minutes my subs were on also. So i'm not sure.
