Did you connect everything right? RCA cable connected from stereo to amp?

Is this a new install or new problem?

Usually amps get cooked by subs, that were first cooked by amps.

Or if you wired it - to + and + to - then you could also have fried it, even for a second. Ask me how I know.

start off by putting in a spare amp, or a friend's amp in there to see if it works. then go on from there. if it doesn't work either, it's in your wiring somewhere, maybe something loose. check all connections, remote wire, rca wires, speaker wires, power, ground. If it does work with the test amp, then it's your amp. It's fried.
