audiopipe amp problem.. please help

so the only thing you have connected to the amp is pwr,grd and remote? and it's in protect mode?

yeeeee. i have had everything hooked up before though. and every time the power light flashes, the sub would beat.

take a photo of the amp in protect mode with only pwr/grnd/remote plug into it. if it goes straight into protect without having anything connected to the output side of the amp and the rca's not plugged in. your amp is toast

disconnect the sub wires from the amp and see if it goes into protect (make sure you have your rca's unplugged from the amp at the same time)

i guess its fried then cause nothing is plugged in but ground power and rem. directly into protect mode. with power light flashing.

guys im thinking i have a dead mosfet.. i tried touching the drain on all of them to ground. i got a spark on all of them except a pair of 2. one gave no spark, the other gave a slight spark everytime the power light flashes.. does that say anything?
