Is my amp blown?

[type_S 10+ year member]

I just recently install my amp and subs after not using it for a year. At first i connected everything and the amp works and sub was hitting. But i played around with the wires since it is not hitting hard. I accidently hit the ground wire that is connected the metal chassis and a couple of sparks arise. Since then the amp wont work. I tried reconnecting the remote wire and power wire. Only these 2 wire should power the amp. Do you think i short circuit the amp. Its not working nomore. What are your guys suggestion to resolving this problem . Thanks rob

check fuses

1) Do what tru said and check fuses

2) Dont "play around" with the wires unless the positive wire is disconnected from the battery

The fuse is good.

check the fuse on both the amp, and under the hood.

You are talking about the power wire fuse under hood. Its also good.

then crack the amp open and see if there are any scorch marks

What hit the ground wire? Is the ground wire still connected ok?

I open the amp and there is no scorch marks. Also the ground wire is still ok. So what could be the problem.
