blew my amp

i started my car today,bumped for about 5 seconds and then it went to treble,i checked it when i got home and light wouldnt turn red or green so i put the cords back in again in case they were loose but nothin happened so i think its blown,it was a 2 channel power acoustik gothic series amp i was using until i got my new amp in,it was running around 400 wrms at 2 ohms to my mtx 9512 and was at full power,ive been using it for a few weeks now and it hasnt got hot or anything so i dont know what the problem is

Not a good idea man, your gain does not have to be up all the way for it to give out full power this is probably why your amp blew.

You had your gains maxed out, thats why your amp blew most likely. Learn how to set your gains when you buy a new amp and this shouldn't happen again //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

definitely check the fuses. And then learn how to set the gain.
