Protection Mode on Amp

[a1roath]

Novice car audio guy here.
Wired everything for a kicker zx400.1 amp to two 10" kicker comps 300 watt each. Used a multimeter to check ground and voltage and everything checked out. Stays in protection mode when turned on. Unplugged speakers and still in protection mode. Do I have a bad amp? Or something not wired correctly?
Any advice is greatly appreciated as this is only my second install and the first was in a 96 Sonoma lol

Do I have a bad amp?

If power checks out ok and no subs plugged in and still in protection mode. You have a bad amp.
