Run the wires from the radio or amp to the crossover and then to the tweeters. If the tweeters have a bassblocker installed just run the wires straight to them no crossover needed.

If it fits the terminals you can, but it's not gonna make a big difference in output.

Sounds like the amp is trying to draw more current then the fuse will allow. Upgrading your wire running from the battery to the distribution block and then installing the proper sized fuses all around should solve your problem.

Seen it happen before. Make sure the LPF is not turned all the way down. Also, if it has a sub-sonic filter make sure it's not turned all the way up.

For the distribution block run the power-wire from the bettery into it, and then run the outputs from it into the amps. Put the distribution block as close to the amps as possible. If it's a fused distribution block use the same size fuse as the size on your amp for each seperate wire. You can...

Undo your speaker-wire going from the amp to the subs. If the amp doesn't blow the fuse then check those wires.

Yep, everything you need to know is somewhere on this forum just search. If your friend has some experience you should be fine. If your unsure about any part of the install just search for your answer, and if you can't find it ask. Good luck.

Make sure all your grounds are still secure. You may want to try grounding the headunit straight to a chasis ground. Also, where is your ground for your amp located? Make sure to use the same guage wire for your ground on your amp as your power wire.

Did you re-run the remote-wire or just use the same one? If the remote wire was not getting a charge to the amp it was possibly shorting out somewhere. If you just tied a shorting wire to the ignition it's popping the fuse to keep from burning anything up. I suggest re-running the remote-wire...

Have you checked the fuses on the amp and under the hood? Also check the ground to make sure it hasn't come loose.

Have your alternator checked out. It could be on it's way out.

Have you replaced the starter? It sounds like it's the starter, either locked up or bad. You can test the starter by taking it off and hooking it straight to the battery using booster-cables. If it's still good it'll engage and jump, so make sure you're not right on top of it when you do this.

Have you checked to make sure that your Rcas are not pinched and all your ground-wires are still secure. If so search for a thread titled 'Pioneer HU,Alternator Whine Fix' in the wiring section and see if that helps you out. Sorry I don't know how to post links.

Just to rule them out you should have them checked. A short could kill the battery in no time. Take a couple minutes have them checked....if they come out good check your voltage-regulator on your alternator. Which Autozone can also check.
