Bazooka El-460 Problem please help.

I tried installing this 4 chan x65 rms amp to replace the 2 x 50x2 rms ones i have running currently

to get my system to a single amplifier setup but ran into a big problem.. I apply the 12/rem/ground and the amp powers on green with no protection or anything.. I have the rca's from the hu (front's and rear/sub ones) going to the chan 1/2 and 3/4 and all the speaker wire hooked up properly so everything is in order.. but there is no output going to the speakers or the sub. However I know the speaker outs work somewhat because when I apply the speaker wire to the connection the sub moves for a second but there is no sound. If i rapidly apply and remove the wire from the speaker output it mimics the sub moving but no sound... any ideas i'm really stumped on this one..

pretty vague response.. could anyone go a little in depth regarding where the faul tin th eamp could be?

I had a rf punch 55.2 and once it blew and someone mentioned it was most likely the mosfets so i opened and saw the 2 were fried so I bought 2 for 3 $ and resoldered the new ones on and presto.. ie./ I am somewhat electronically inclined so I may be able to trouble shoot something of the sort..

oh , its probably the mosfets or the driver section of the amp. But i gave the vague response becuase IMO , a repair is a waste. bazooka makes terrible amps. I would just get a different amp.
