Check the fuses in the amplifier.

Double check all wiring, and connections.

When I drove to Bfest, the amp in my car was on for probably 8 hours that day, after 7, it went into protection mode from overheating in the trunk. Mine'* right by the passthrough. Opened it up, and made sure the rear vents were pointed at it and on, and it was fine after that.

Did you try disconnecting it from the sub and turning it on. If the sub is completely fried the amp will also go into protection mode.
