Did I just blow my AMP? please help !

I have a Peineer GM7400M amp its 400 RMS in 2 Ohms I have had it working fine for over a year the last week I had to move my sub box so I unhooked the speaker wires from my amp and a few days later I hooked my Sub Wire back up and my amp light blinks ever couple of seconds and my sub moves in and out about an inch but no sound is coming from my sub, I did move a dishwasher in the back on my SUV not sure if somer water got on my amp or what could you tell me what could be the broblem please.

try unhooking it from power for a few hours then try it again. this might "reset" it..

does it have a fuse in the amp?
good luck

Letting speaker wires touch is usually an instantaneous trip to the repair depot..

They shouldn't, but they might. It's pooched anyway so you have nothing to lose by trying.
