shut off the car. If it doesn't help, then you have either a wiring issue (ground bad, short on the speaker leads, etc) or the amp is hooped.

what do you mean by the amp being "hooped"????

done, finished, fried.

pooped, b0rked, fUkt, dumped, toast, fried, blown, garbage, destroyed, done...

these are all synonyms for- broken.

check all the speaker and amp terminals, and make sure the wires arent shorting out anywhere, check your ground, and make sure its as good as possible (bare metal & super tight) check to make sure your amp is not mounted to a metal surface (sometimes it shorts the amp) and do an overall check to make sure everything is ok.

but first, take out the fuse to your power wire for a day or so. then try again (after youve checked all this)
