Now My Amp Doesn't Work

I removed the amp from the floor of my trunk so as to aviod something f***ing it up. I bolted it upside down under the wood holding my 2 ten's. When I went to reconnect it, for some reason it doesn't turn on. Can anyone please help?

try checking you connections good. mounting it upsidedown can cause problems with over heating because there is no where for heat to go

when you were reinstalling, or when you were unhooking the amp, did you see anything spark (say when you were unscrewing the cables)???

alot of times a spark symbolizes a blown fuse which would definately not turn your amp on. Check the fuse on the Power Wire by the battery, and the fuse thats on the amp itself.

hope i helped..

I checked and the fuse is fine but I never disconnected the battery. How can I check to see if it is fried?
