Take out the capacitor. You don't need it, and if it isn't charged it will be a dead short and blow your fuse.

1. Remove capacitor

2. Check your fuses

3. Check that your ground wire is contacting metal and not paint

Have you checked the voltage at the amp with a multimeter?

whatever you replaced (chassis ground)

put it back the way it was, and see if it works then.

if not, then all i can say is to do what jeremy said.*not send him the subs and amp* lol
