If you power up the amp with the RCAs plugged in, does it go into protection mode.

If you power up the amp with the RCAs plugged in, does the woofer pop?

Maybe the audio amplifier IC´s are damaged

Hi, what you need to do is unplug all the connections to the amp. The amp goes into protection when the circuitry over heats.\
First decrease all your gains to minimal volume.
Connect your 12+V, remote, and ground.
See if the protection light comes on then.
Next plug in your RCA cables.
Check protection light.
Then plug in your subwoofer cables.
See if you are still in protect mode.
Hopefully everything works alright again.
Just slowly increase the gain to see what the cut-off is. Make sure you aren't dropping the ohmage too low on the amplifier. Check manual for correct wiring and such.

meter the power side of the amp. sometimes the amp will go into protect if it doesnt have power. if power and remote and ground are good the amp is probably bad.
