Check your fuses.
 






If your bare leads happend to touch while the stereo was on you possibly fried the amp... I did that a long time ago... Learned it the hardway... Or you could be lucky and maybe you just popped the fuse...
 






well, its really werid, cause I didnt pop any fuses, and I checked all the leads, and they are conected to the right spot, and the amp has power, whats weird cause the subs come on, and you can see them moving, and the are moving alot, but no sound is coming out of them, and I checked the gains, and they are all correct..its just messed up??
 






check on your amp and see if you switched the phase mode on or check the settings on your hu to see if you have the correct settings.
 






check the wires and fuses if the power is coming on it is proably the ground the saying is "no ground no sound"
 






did u check you fuse under your hood..that happened to me a while back but it didnt look popped, i brought it to a local music dealer and her told me that the fuse was just defective...let me know if this works
 






the thing is, that the subs come on, and when you feel the sub, you can feel it moveing, but its not hitting, and you cant really even hear it, it sounds like a 5 1/4inch speaker bass..
 






you reversed the polarity on one of the subs.
