[QUOTE="blakktalon, post: 7240481, member: 628028"] the infinity 1300a is a mono amp. If you wired one positive and one negative to the amp, and wired the other positive and negative together on the sub. you hooked it up into a 8 ohm load. This might have been enough to fry the amp. Its good for 4, or 2 ohm. I cant post links, but If you look up sub wiring you will see that you need to wire positive from the amp to both positive terminals on the sub, and the same with the negatives. The amp has two sets of speaker wire hookups for ease of wiring. Smell the amp and see if you can smell burnt, sooty ness. I am guessing you blew one of the outputs, This would cause it to go into protect. Or you blew one of the voice coils on the sub. To check the sub, set your multimeter on ohms. You should have pretty close to 4 ohms on each of the speaker wire terminals on the sub. [/QUOTE]
