I hope i didn't fry it?

Its a soundstream rubicon 355 5 channel amp.

I had it bridged in three channel mode, 1 6x9 to chann 1 and two, 1 6x9 to 3 and 4, and two subs on the sub channel.6x9s are 4 ohms as are the subs.

I was listening at almost max volume and it just quit, Like it went into protection mode.Now it just goes pop,pop,pop.....

I unhooked the rcas and same thing

I unhooked the subs and same thing

HELP.....I have no tunes...:(

the subs go pop. then there is interference.u will kno if u fried your amp. it will smell like sh*t. plus the subs wouldn't move . i had an amp fry on me an the subs wouldn't move at all. check fuses too.

Blowing 1 channel will make all others not work?

try this were u got your 6x9's hooked up put your sub wires there. see if that works otherwise i had a 4 channel amp an one of my channels blew an the whole thang wouldn't work. but i might be wrong i like to tinker with stuff. so if they don't work in were u had your 6x9's then u blew your amp. but i could be wrong too so. i hope i'm helping u out.
