your amp is in protection mode, check the fuses on the amp

did you see or smell any smoke, does the amp have a electric burn smell

If all fuses are intact both power and remote wire are connected and your grounds have not come loose...I am afraid your amp will need some repair.

Try taking off your power wire from you amp and then reconnect after a few minutes. Also turn the amp up side down and smell the bottom. If you smell burnt the amp is fried.
