Have you check your pre-out rca coming from your headunit?

Make sure that none of the amp's protection lights are on. Similarly, make sure that the speaker wires are all connected properly and that none of them are grounding out. And of course obviously check the RCAs

Not to discredit your knowledge or anything, but do you have your gain adjustments turned up? Most new amps come with the gain adjustments all the way down.
