Problems with my amp???

Okay well i just finished puttin neon string tubing in my bx and put it back in today. well a 20min job turned into a 3 hours very frusrating job causing some interior stuff gettin broken. but i had to put my power and ground wires back into my 400 watt jensen amp and well now its not working. my other amp is gettin power from the same power line as the 400 is gettin it from but i got everything hooked up right and no fuse is blown. so what else do u think it could be? i did drop the amp like maybe 2-3 inches onto the carpet in the back of the car but would that be enuff to cause something to brake inside of it?

i know something is not right and i think this amp is dead, so i have to spend another 150 bucks for another 400watt amp and i hate this and i also now have to get a new interior panel for my car since out of rage i broke it into 2 pieces.

hmmmm ill have to check the one for my subs but the one for my rear speckers work. i just hope it is the remote wire. becuz well i was tuggin on the wires connected to the remote wire and i think we just spliced the remote to extra wire so we could connect it to the amp so maybe that came loose. ill check that and ill get back soon, too friekn cold out now.

well it wasnt the remote wire becuz we did soder (sp) the wires together and so i cut and spliced the wires and tryed and nope nothing happened then before. so i think i have to try and find another jensen amp like the one i have now since they stopped making the one i have.

Well just for an update if anyone reads this, i had the master tech at work and he was also the one how put the system in for me, he found out that the ground to the chassie wasnt good enuff. so we just used some of those jagged washer thingys and that fixed the problem and now im very happy with my system again.
