All of a sudden my amps and subwoofer don't work. The power connection is okay because when the car is first turned on, the amp blinks red (protect) and the subwoofers light up, but then the light goes off and the subwoofer does not work. The rem wire is also okay because when the headunit is off, the subwoofers don't light up and when the head unit is on, the subwoofers do light up. Lastly, I think the ground wire is okay because when the ground wire comes off it the protect light usually comes on. So is my amp blown?? How can I check if it is blown, besides tryin to attach a different amp.

Check fuses on your amp to see if it's blown. And it would also be a good idea to double check your wiring setup to see if it's routed to the proper place ie: check if your ground wire is loose and has good contact, power wire has good contact with fusible link and battery, and remote wire from amp has been crimped properly to the radio receiver's remote wire. Or you can just remove your amp and smell at the vent for that notorious burned electrical smell.

I checked the fuses...and I checked all the connections. And i'm pretty sure I smelled that notorious smell.

Oh, that's not good. If you smelled it then you will need another amp. Sorry about what happened.
