I did the troubleshooting from the manual..which was:

Unplug RCA's and speaker leads, leave power wire, ground, and remote wire connected and then give the amp power..it still went in protect, the manual is telling me it's an internal fault. This sucks ***.

I just looked inside the amp to see if any of the parts looked damged or burnt..everything looks perfect, is this usually a hard job..could a local electronic guy maybe fix it?

I just had to replace my inline fuse to fix a similar problem. It wasn't broken, it just needed to be bigger apparently. Make sure it's rated to enough amperage for your amplifier.
