1 of 2 things.

1, Your amp decided to die.

or

2, Your speaker died and killed your amp.

could be a number of things. If you have a meter I would check the impedence of your subs but when you let the smoke out of electronics it quits working like a car out of gas.

well i finally decided to mess with the amp i got the melted fuse out and put a new one in. now the amp seems to work again. any clue what could have cause the fuse to melt? it seems it only got to hot on half of the fuse (remember this is the fuse that goes into the amp itself)

it could be cause by just having it cranked up too loud on the right song but I would double check all your wiring to make sure there is not a short somewhere.
