Friends can be so stupid...

So I call my friend up with a bxi2607d to borrow it so I can have some slap over the holidays before my next build. The deal was to let him borrow some of my speakers I'm not using (because his were blown (prob his fault) and in turn he would let me borrow the amp (now only pushing a single RF T1 10", blown. he has two but the other will no longer play:crap://content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif) I trust him to take out his own amp while I installed his speakers, and apparently he touched one of his wires to the metal frame of the amp. Tonight I go to test it out and it won't play, switch all of my wires over to my kicker 850.4, and the sub starts moving...... switch it all back, no go.

Amp isn't in protect, and is turning on, but no output. Any ideas (besides not let ignorant friends near useful equipment!)? On a side note I have $725 in paypal. Looking for some powa maybe I won't need to borrow and can just make my purchase now only fear is it won't get here in a week.

also, upon removing his speaker (which was installed by supposedly reputable shop) it was CAKED with metal shavings from where the new mounting holes were drilled for the speaker. looked very ghetto, and its surprising they would not have cleaned up better.... especially considering he spent probably 2g + there. Could this perhaps have been not user error but installer error which led to the blown coax pos?

 
would the metal frame actually be grounded at all to the circuit board? i might be wrong but i doubt it... but i once accidently touched an amps posotive to the wrong negative or vice versa,forget exactly what. the way the amp by designed, the screw below it, accidently touch the terminal of the wire i was working with.. anyway that amp never worked again but did go into protect...

 
i hate it when people say "slap". It irritates the hell out of me

I guess it depends on the amp...

A few times my ground wire has come out of my amp, and it sparks when it touches the case, but it's never blown anything. Even though it has a few burnt / oxidation marks from where the wire sparked off of. Looks intense. Haha.

My brother also accidentally hooked up an amp with the polarity reversed, and it just kept blowing fuses. The amp still worked. (surprisingly.)
