Don't try giving it power again. You'll get the magic white smoke.

ok check all grounds and remote line, the remote line may have shorted to the ground, check speaker leads and connections, if that still doesnt work give randy a call

Umm how did you bench test it, just out of interest?

Are you running a rear battery setup? Half the time it's cos you've somehow popped one of the fuses on your feed front-back and the back batts have gone flat. Check the voltage.

Other things that will make these amps all protect happy are bad grounds on anything in the signal path like EQs and the such.

Last of all, it might have just shat itself. They do that from time to time.

bench tested with kinetic 3800 8g inputs 12" long or so

in car rear batts only fuses are from batts to amp nothing between front and rear will cheak voltage in the rear

Sorry, but that's like... the most pointless thing I've ever heard. Why fuse the runs to the amp? Especially if you're not fusing the run front-rear. If you're not gonna fuse the single most important wire in the car, why fuse anything?
