American Bass VFL 120.1 amp gets power but has zero output?

[TheCandyMan]

I've had my American Bass VFL 120.1 since July 2015. It never slide in my trunk nor moved in my trunk and powered my Sundown Audio X 15 sub for over 5years. One day my sub stopped moving,checked the amp the power light was lit but zero output. Anyone have any idea why or how to fix this? All and any help is wonderful. Thanks in advance!

Disconnect sub wires and plug in a voltmeter. Put it in A/C volts and turn amp on. If meter moves, your sub may be the issue.
If no voltage, check the amp's settings. Something may have been switched.
If all is the same, plug your phone into the rca inputs via rca to 3.5mm cable and play something.
If no voltage, amp may be fried.

Did all this,sub is on a hifonics amp now doing just fine and when we hooked up the phone to amp nothing happend,yet the power light was still on and lit up,would that light be on if the amp was fried?
Could the amp be fried w out it smoking or smelling weird?
Never got smoke or a weird smell or anything just one day sub went out and never came back on and here i am.

That is an odd way to go out for sure. You are the second member to have that exact problem this week. Since there was no smoke, protect mode light, and amp still lights up, I think it has something to do with the input stage. But I still think you should have gotten a few millivolts from the output as it sits at idle. I myself have an old Fosgate Power amp that has low ourput on the left channel. Tech said some of the transistors are shot, hence the low output, but amp is still functioning. So I guess it is not too odd for an amp to stop working without a spectacular fireworks display.
