Serious Amp Problem!

Serious Amp Problem!
Alright..So I was just driving around today, with my fresh tank of gas..And all of a sudden, my bass cuts out to nothing. I turn around to check my amp..And the light that is normally green, is now red, and the subs aren't working at all. I hit up my local AutoZone, and asked them about it..Guy said it was probably the fuse. So I bought a 4 pack of fuses (Can never go wrong with some spares), put that in expecting it to work..And still, NOTHING. The light still is red, but when I first start my truck it's green, then changes to red. Above the light, it says "Pwr/Attn". Quite obvious..Green = Power, and Red = Attention, but what else should I do..? I let it just sit...For the 3 hours I got called in to come work..Went out to my truck hoping it was going to boot up, and still NOTHING. What could be wrong here? Thanks in advance for the help, and sorry for the lecture ha.

don't feel bad, i melted two fuses today.
oh the joys of tuning, and going deaf.
i have no idea why it was melting the fuses, but it only calls for a 15amp fuse, i stuck a 20amp fuse in it, problem solved.
back on topic, i have to agree with pete.
you could also have a bad ground, but i don't think that would cause a problem like your describing.
check all of your wiring and make sure everything is tight and has a clean connection.

its one of two things and two things only
1) your sub is blown or wired wrong
2) Your amp is fried

Anyway... have you, OP, even looked at anything? Not to be a dick but it doesn't sound like you have actually checked any of the wiring. Pull the subs, check the connections, check your grounds (ground faults are a ***** and often overlooked, all it takes is a poor ground to give you hell), ect...
Report back to us on what EXACTLY you have checked and we can be more help, being vauge doesn't work... that is unless you are looking for a reason to upgrade, then hell call it blown and move on.

Yeah..I'm an audio idiot I guess. Oh well. Me and my buddy are checking over everything tomorrow. He said he'll take his amp out, and put it in my truck, and see if it runs..If not, then it's obviously my subs, correct? Well, that is, unless it's the ground like you guys are saying..I'll make sure to check ALL the wiring first..He knows what he's doing, at least compared to me :p
