Amp help *NOW WITH BIG UPDATE*, The LED went red Options

[aslearvert]

Ok, I have a power acoustik 980 watt plasma sphere amp (part # TS980-2... I think). Its hooked up to 2 kicker comp subs. Today I was listening to it at medium volume (not even close to the loudest I've ever had it) and the LED went from green to red. I'm pretty sure the subs didnt blow. There was no loud noise, It just stopped working. The amp wasnt hot at all so it didnt overheat. Is there some way to reset it or something. I've turned my car off and let it sit. I disconnected the power cable from my battery and the LED is still red which the manual says stands for "protect". I checked the fuses (by eye, not with a meter) and they seemed ok. Can anyone help me out with this? Is there a trick to get it working? What should I do?

Thanks for all your help

Its not uncommon for a headunit/reciever to drop a channel. I work at an electronics retailer and deal with these kind of issues a lot.

I had the best question at work the other day, Customer comes in wanting to hook up 2 outdoor speakers. He says he had a reciever but blew it out...So I figured he probably had it for 10-12 years or so because they last so long.. So I had to ask ... What happened to the reciever? verbatim "Well, I ran out of places on the back of the reciever to hook up speakers and I had one extra speaker, so I twisted the positives together and negatives together of two speakers and screwed it in...Any idea why it blew the reciever?"
