Amp won't turn on.

Hi guys, mad newb here again. Yesterday, I was in the parking lot, turned down my volume (original setup, bass, treble, HPF ect... never had a problem since it went in) then I turned my sub level up, and turned it up to little more then half that I usually do. They didn't pound any harder then they normally do, just was louder to the rest of the music. Then, the amp just cut out. My whole system is in my signature, if that helps any. Now I checked both 30 amp fuses in the amp, and they look fine. I checked the fuse up from after the battery, and it looks fine as well. Now I oringally thought it was a grounding problem, because as soon as my deck turned on, the power light on the amp would turn on, but then slowly fade out. Now it won't even turn on. I thought it was a grounding issue, because I originally got this car with the 2, 4 guage grounds installed, and I have checked it and they are still very solidly in place. The one ground was loose as I was able to pull it out of the ground slot. A couple of minutes ago, I rewired the 2 grounds back into the amp, and still no luck. I know my amp has some form of a protector, if there is over/under voltage. Im at a loss either way, please help.

Edit: Signature isn't working, heres my setup

I know it's only been a day, but I can't even listen to my music anymore with the bass.

Have you got a volt meter? How much DC voltage do you have at the amp Input?

Problem solved. A volt metre would have helped. Even though the fuse up front looked intact, for some reason it wasn't transfering juice. Even the technician said it looked fine. Either way, only cost me 3 bucks.
