    If you left the sub wiring like it was when you bridged the amp last night, it put a 2 ohm load on the amp.

    Hahah!!!! It works!! Damn im so happy but pissed at the same time lol.. I went out and checked all my fuses they were good.. So I decided to test the power wire at the amp got a good 12 volts out of it.. So then I tested it hooked up to the amp using the power and ground connections on the amp.. I only got like two volts :hmm: I pulled the carpet up to check my ground and there it was pulled off the connector!! Now both channels are working..

    So apparently the right channel worked the whole time but the sub was broke.. and neither sub worked bridged because it was wired @ 2ohms and amp can only handle 4?? which that combined lead me to belive the channel was dead..

    But whatever this **** is workin!! Now I gotta fix my sub!!
