Amp Quit, Cannot Find One Thing Wrong

So i'm listening to the bass for like 5 mins, and all of a sudden poof, no bass:furious: . I get home and i'm lookin at it, the amp (orion hcca-d2400) is on (and not even warm). I got 14.2 volts power in, 13.8 remote wire in, fuses are all fine, amps lit up, the status lights are fine. After all this i get 0 volts output...I tried checking the rca's and on a rock song with not too much bass i was getting ~1 volt, is this right? If so, what the hell is going on?

Edit: The HU has 5 volt outputs, but I was only getting like .5 volts on my midrange rca's at full blast and they were working fine, full blast also is like 25/35 on my HU the way I have it set, so I think the rca's are fine...

Wtf...now i turn on the car and the sub is making a buzzing/crackling noise, even after i disconnect the RCA's, is there something seriously wrong with the amp?

Can you try a different amp to rule out a wiring problem?

Dang, is there no other way to check that? Because that would entail pulling the box out, pulling the sub out rewiring it to 4 ohms //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crap.gif.7f4dd41e3e9b23fbd170a1ee6f65cecc.gif. The wiring should be just fine though i would think, the voltages are all good, and it continued after i pulled the rcas...

Just because I liked your avatar, I would suggest you check your amplifier's grounding cable to be sure it's still secure.
