So I have a re audio amp and the subs terminals got crossed while it was on and out the amp In protection mode. So I turned the amp off and turned it back on and still five minutes later same thing there is no fuse on the amp and the main power wire fuse should be working because I have leds and a cig charger on the same power wire . Suggestions or im set back on a amp

Check you ground and voltage at the amp with the sub wires disconnected. If your ground is good and you have over 12 volts to the remote and power wires than the amps shot. I stress check actual voltage and not just use a test light. I have seen MANY times where the main power wire fused near the battery is not completely blown. Especially glass fuses. It starts to blow and only allows 6v or so through. Enough to light a test light and allow an amp to power up but not enough to allow power output.

Sad part is I know better I'm usually on the other side preaching. Well amp shopping I go. If it cost more than the amp to fix I'm just buy a new one
