The amp to sub connection has nothing to do with the HU's internal amplifier, but it will damage your sub amp if it shorts. without a meter it's hard to define any electrical problem, but try this if you can: Take a speaker that you know is good, and is 4 ohms. IE any coaxial speaker will work. Unhook all of the HU's speaker leads from your car and one at a time hook it to the speaker. If it works like that you're in luck, the unit is only protected. If not, it's possibly busted.

I lived out in Cross Creek when i first moved to FL 4 years ago, nice area!

so i tried what you said and got no sound from anything so i am thinking that the head unit is done. but im still wondering what is causing the issue if it isnt that wire from the amp to the sub then what? im stumped

ur shure the speaker u tested with is a good speaker? i blew some 6.5's but the read 3ohms (shuld read 4ohms) instead of 4ohms. this blew the amp i had em on but if they are hooked up to a 2ohm stable amp they play fine.

but if the speaker isnt reading 4ohms (could be bad or worn out) the unit will still go protect. with out a multi meter you will not know if the speaker is "good"
