poor input RCA area. happens alot of times. if thats the case u need to resolder on the circuit board or worse get a new one (RCA) and resolder.

try shaking on it if u get a slight signal then u know ur culprit if no signal u need to open it and look inside if the OEM solder or connection is not broken.
thats what someone recommended... and i didn't even think about it.. so i'm going to try that tomorrow..

I had a very similar problem with my Kicker DX700. The amp internals looked perfect to the eye, but something went screwy with it. I'm willing to bet if you swap out the amps it will be ok. I still to this day have no idea what went wrong with my amp. I switched to a Profile AP1000M (cheapy) and it worked flawlessly. I suppose it could be something electrical, but more than likely you just need a new amp. It sucks, but it happens.

Depends on how it went out...

Its not always 100% fool proof in this hobby.

Try another amp out...

yeah.. it's most likely the amp.. pulled the sub out and it ohm'd out good... tried another speaker on the amp.. once again no output... the only thing that gets me is the green like still comes on.. it's not in protect.. shouldn't it be if it's fried??

at least to me..
He said he has one sub....

I had a similar problem when I installed an amp and assumed the wires were wired correctly inside the box. The sub would vibrate, but it wouldn't hit like it should. Once I switched the wires around it worked like should. It's easy to check, or you could just try hooking up different speakers to the amp.
No, even if the wires are reversed, the subwoofer will still play music.

phuck.. that's what i was thinking but too afraid to say... the amp was bought used.. but luckliy it had the 5 year warranty... but now it's a PITA to have to send it off and crap..

blown amp.
swap it with another amp and I bet the system starts working.
