my bro was driving along and accidently turned his stereo to nearly full volume while he was going around a corner  silly bugger.
but n e ways now he says that everything went dead from that point apart from his rear speakers which weren't externally amped.
I've checked all fuses and they are ok. The head unit works fine too. The amp light doesn't light up anymore so i think he has blown his RCA's as oppose to his speakers.
what do you lot think??

if the amp isnt lighting up then RCA's have nothing to do with it.
U checked the fuses built into the amp, and also the one in the cable going to the amp in the engine bay?
If those fuses are ok then it looks like a shagged amp.

yeah i thought the AMP was dead. cheers for all your help.
yeah i doubt the remote lead would have come loose cause it all went dead as he accidently turned it up.
cheers ppl

is it possible to get it repaired, or isn't it really worth it?
it's not an amazing amp - caliber 800w 4ch, 70 RMS per channel.

i took mine to me local ice dealer they said by the time youve posted it back to kenwood and theyve fixed it and charged you for fixing then posted it back it would be thick end of 3 months !!! gr8 and it would be also cheape to buy a new one as u got a heavyish amp and its gotta be recorded delivery etc etc etc and all that bullshit!
