Sub is fried, my guess

I checked them with the multimeter and they still read the ohms they’re suppose to so I don’t think so cuz even with the speakers disconnected the clipping light stays on the the protection light on the amp

The clipping light not the protection light

If its still under warranty.. Call the Rep., and see if they have been having issues with that particular amp or series.

Yeah that’s the thing the warranty expired last month but could it be a
Distorted input single coming into the amp thats cauzing this

What headunit are you using?

Have you tried un hoking the RCA's?
Reset the amp (disconnect the neg terminal on your battery)
Unplug the RCA's and plug in a RCA to 3.5mm cable and hook it up to your phone/mp3 player
Reconnect everything and see if it plays
If nothing changes then at the very least you will eliminate your HU as the problem

Well I took the amp out so imma hook it back up and try the phone jack to rcas right now thanks for the advise

So that didn’t work and I just found out that even by disconnecting the speakers and disconnecting the rcas it still stays on not the red protection led light but the clipping yellow led light I think the output section of the amp might of just went out thanks you guys
