big problems

ok so i was helping a buddy of mine hook up a system in his camaro yesterday and i got it all in, worked great. now today i swapped out soem subs for soem different ones and he diecided he didn;t want them i i hooked the other onesback up. got all doen and everything it blew the fuse's. got soem new ones put it in and turned it on it would send no signal out to the subs. power wire is fine but it jsut won;t send signal out to the subs. turned it on and had the subs hookd up right after i put new fuses in and it smelt real bad liek it burnt up the subs. so i unhooked it and could never get it to work again. by the way the amp is a new rockford 500.2 anyone know why maybe this is doing that

best thing to do is have the amp tested at a car audio store or hook it up to a friends system... usually what i do

you must have changed the subs while the amp was on?

Beat me to it. Was going to say DC on the outputs of one of the channel. Send it back to RF, they have GREAT service.
