Default in dying help!!!...installed sub and car fuse keeps burning???

tonight my friend installed a 10in RF sub and everything was done..turned on the car, the bass sounded good, everything was good, but to my surprise when i turned my headlights, the sidemarkers, taillights, and bumper lights. and gauges..didn't work!!!...

we checked all the fuses under the dash...none were burned...i checked the alarm and one fuse was burned (lights go on when alarm is triggered)....so we checked the main fuses under the hood and this one fuse that read..+5 SMALL i think it said..was burned...so i put a new one and the fuse burned that new one...it burned 3 in total...so what can it be????????.....anyone had this problem before?

Was it fuse 51 - +B SMALL 15A, [hot at all times] in under hood fuse box?

Are fuse 30 - 7.5A, [instrument lights]and fuse 32 - 10A, [license/tail lights] [hot when light switch is on] in under dash fuse box, still good?

What is the sub amps power lead connected to, [where is the amp getting its power]?

When does the fuse in the under hood fuse box blow, [as soon as you put it in, or when you turn on the lights]?

Is it the stock alarm or an aftermarket one?

Is the HU stock or aftermarket?

The above assumes we are talking about a 1998 Integra GSR. 94

Make sure the dimmer wire is not touching anything behind the headunit. And is either taped up or hooked up correctly
