Hi all!

I'm really having some problems with my sub / head unit.

I've recently fitted my sub, i had a few problems fitting it, but it's all done now and it was working for about 5 minutes, I then turned the car on and off, once coming back on, the headunit won't turn on AT ALL.

So I checked all the fuses, EVERYTHING is ok EXCEPT the 'S-contact (radio)' it had a 10 in it, so I changed it for a 30, and even that got blown after putting it in there.... what do I do now?

You have proberbly blown the head unit ....putting a bigger amp fuse in was a bit silly, there was a problem and now you have made it worse, your lucky the car did not go up in flames...

How have you wired in the amp?
Where have you picked up the power for it? Direct from the battery or from a feed that was never designed to take an additional 40+ amps?
Where is the signal feed from the HU being picked up - direct from the HU or from the stock sub loom?

Help please!
