97 mercury mountainer system

97 mercury mountainer, head unit, kenwood kdcmp925, audiobahn 5.25 abc525t, front stage. powered by fosgate punch 200

fosgate punch 40 powering some b$ll sh#t tweeters that are actually melting after 2 days for my rear

subs audiobahn abp123t powerrd by a  Power Acoustik Gothic OV2-1600, 2 farad total stiff caps

now here are all my fricking problems, can't get the head unit to adjust to sound good enough for my ears there are too many features, how the hell do you take the faceplate off? it came with a case and i know it comes off?, okay as for the the audiobahn subs are suppose to handle like 900 watts rms, and the surfboard sized power acoustic is suppose to put out 740 w,rms, 4 ohm mono, the sub box is a 4ohm mono load also, all i can say is iam dissapointed, I kind of expected it to be somewhat loud, it bumps but not what i expected. when i turn up my radio to like 26 and i think it goes to 35, i start to smell like my components frying, i used the crossovers that came w the component set+ the x card set to high pass on the fosgate+ the head unit has front rear and sub crossovers, maybe out of phase wired? audiobahn doesn't tell ya what the polarity of the wires are in the comp. set the tweets are pre wired solid blue and blue with black stripe, i assumed blue w black was negative. any help would be appreciated

The easiest way to avoid these problems is to keep all your equipment the same brand and make sure all the ohms/wattage ect. match up  I keep my system all the exact same brand and check and double check ohms and wattage

i understand your point, but i'm giving this info as though im talking to a complete newbie.  I've had some systems mixed and matched with all sorts of equipment and brands,but for the folks less educated I think they should stick to one brand, but thats just my 2 cents
