Default Did my amp go bad or did I blow my subs?

I finally god a fuse today for my amp after blowing it a few weeks ago. I'm not sure what the actual name of my amp is but it's a JL 600w bass amp. Everything was working fine for about 5 mins when I noticed that one of my subs was making a odd noise. I just played through it though and about 2 mins later, my subs stopped playing. I noticed the lead light on my amp was turning from a green to a yellow and then a orange repeatedly and it wasnt doing this when i first put the new fuse in. I'm refusing to believe I blew a sub and just trying to find possible solutions to the problem. Thanks for the help.

yeah you probably blew your sub and it's making your amp go into protect mode (which is a good thing). if you have access to another sub, test it out... it doesn't even have to be in a box or anything. just connect the speaker wires and see what happens

^^ +1, sounds like you blew the sub.

The changing lights on the amp are the protect mode as stated.

Disconnect the bad sub and see what happens.

Get the exact model of your amp and then go to JL website or use google for an owners manual. The pattern of colored lights will tell you what the amp is doing.

Yea I did that as well but it says that each color will only show as constant but it is switching between the three. I don't know, I guess it has all issues.
