Possible Blown Amp!! Help Neeed!!

I have a Rockford Fosgate P6001bd that may be blown. When I was screwing the power wire into the power input there was a big spark and it smelled burnt. So I checked all the external fuses on the amp and the fuse between amp and batt were fine. When I opened up the amp nothing looks abnormal or out of place (that i can tell at least). Here are some shots of the internals. If anyone has any suggestions please let me know.

Heres the shots

Let me guess. You didn't disconnect your battery negative before messing around with your electrical. Wise. You don't have to physically see damage for their to be damage. If it won't turn on, process of elimination says you damaged it. And the fact that you got a burnt smell isn't good.

Hopefully you have now learned your lesson and ALWAYS disconnect the negative from the battery before ever messing with electrical in your car.

You could try taking it to a local electronics repair shop. They may be able to fix it for less than another new one would cost.

You know. I just assumed that this would have been attempted before he posted //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif But true, nowhere does he mention that he tried.

I'm gonna rerun all my wiring and replAce fuses before I give up on it. Thanks for the suggestions all.

Honestly, I think you ought to just take it to a shop or get a friend that has some experience. Not trying to be an ***, but from your post and replies to us, I think you'd be wise to get some local help.
