Right guys got a weird one for you here.
Subs all wired in the same way as my mates, won't power it though, tried putting his sub in there and still wouldn't power, any tips on what it could be? the wiring kits brand new so don't know why it won't work at all
pretty confusing imo and baffling my head!

Do you have a multimeter or anything to test for power?
If it doesn't fit,
force it,
If it breaks,
It needed replacing anyway

You'll just have to go along the power cables till you find where the power stops
If it doesn't fit,
force it,

I'd be hoping it is a fuse
otherwise you'll be striping wires back out

Hopefully just the fuse mate. Can you not pull the fuse out and have a look now?

Yeah I've grounded it where the coilover are on the back end
and not sure on wattage mate, just done the multimeter and the power wire fuse is fine and working, just not working from the sub end, really annoying but will sort it out tomorrow!
