Help me figure out my problem!! BTL autotek 3k 100.4 alpine active

So this is the deal... Try and follow it...please please please help

I was bumpin a couple weeks ago and all of a sudden the system turns off (No sound but HU is still on and playing)

So i figured something maybe came loose where the battery and brain are...(btw fuses are good)

so somehow my dumbass clips the top of the amp with my allen wrench when im unscrewing the power so i let go and try and quickly move the wrench off the amp , sparks fly, i burn the top of the amp where the allen wrench hit. and my finger is pretty burnt from the heat of the allen wrench. after i try and move it iirc i hear something and i see smoke coming from under the false floor (this is the point where i freak the **** out)

so i called andy over to try and help.

originally i was gunna see if it was a remote problem so i was gunna touch power and remote to see if the amps turn on... well after i burnt my shit i took the 100.4 out and kept the 3k in to see if that worked...i turned the car on and the HU wouldnt turn on.

i open the 100.4 and it looks fine? and i get everything out and nothing looks burnt.

But there was a screw that was holding my false floor down that looked like it melted and the carpet was burnt too (so im not sure if that was where the smoke came from)

i hooked up the amp again (no initial spark from the Power) i touch the power and remote and turn the car on... headunit doesnt turn on but the lights turn on on the amp.

turn the car off and turn it back on (with out pwr and rmt touching) the HU turns on then i touch the pwr and rmt and the lights on the amp turn on and the HU stays on but no sound.

i hook the 3k up to the 4g where the 100.4 was...there was an initial spark but it doesnt turn on.

voltage to everything is fine btw

is there anyway i can check the rca's with a mulimeter to make sure they work

If all the voltages are good, try hooking another amp up to the setup to see if it works

hook up your 100.4 and see if it works

obviously before you waste any more time, check all the fuses

was a screw from your false floor touching the chassis of the car by any chance?

if you got the smoke something died. open the 3k and check it out. does in not have on board fuses??

A lot to read and try and comprehend with out seeing it..

When all wired up regularly

1. does the sundown 100.4 turn on?

2. does the 3000 watt turn on?

3. Does the h.u turn on?

i think so that why that one screw got roasted

3k is fine fuses are all good (3 main fuses and 2 on the amps)

1. it will turn out when i hook it up and touch wire from remote to power...but no sound

2. yes and same as 1

3. yes but when i "initially" saw smoke and blah blah i turned the car on and it didnt turn on. then connected the rmt and pwr and it was off then tried again without touching pwr to rmt and it turned on.

also i was driving to class today and it was off...well i have it turned off but the clock still shows. then i wiggled it and it came on.
