I know i was gonna post sooner but i've been busy, I opened up the amp and nothing looks or smells fried. Everything looks normal which is kinda annoying, i took some pics but i'm not sure if posting on here is Hi-res enough I can e-mail em to you if you want.

Try posting them on here first. That way in future someone else looking this up can see the photos. If necessary we can go to email after.

Check the input and output transistors for shorts. After that it gets more complicated, but I may be able to help direct you.

i finally hooked up cabling to run an amp in my car and got to test the JL amp.
I havnt tried tracing the circuit yet but (not sure if this helps or not) the sub moved very slightly if not just picking up vibs from the 6x9s and then it started to heat up to the point where you can burn your hand.
Any thoughts?
