Default Amp + Subs stopped Working

Hey guys, hope you can give me a hand with this one b/c its got me beat. Today I was getting rid of the huge and heavy box that holds my 2x10' subs. I got them out and so far so good. Then I went to go put them in again and started hooking stuff up and noticed that the my Amp wasn't powered up(when its powered there is a blue flashing color on it). Well i got everything hooked up and still things werent working so i changed the fuse for my 8 gauge wire. That still wasnt it...so now im confused. My amp is a Kenwood KAC-X520 , and 2 Rockford Fosgate subs. Any ideas what the problem might be?

My problem with this..the ground. Make sure its clean and a good contact.

If that doesnt work. Get a voltmeter and see where the power is stopping at or if there is power coming to the amp.

a make sure the remote wire is plugged in, on both ends, make sure you have a good ground going to your amp, and finally check the fuses on ur amp, not just ur inlines.

i was gonna say about the ground as well so check that....im still thinking that something still has to be unplugged cause you couldnt have blown something just by taking out your subs even if your subs touched metal or something like that.But then again if your amp isnt even coming on then its gotta be something fuse wise or another.Have you checked your amp fuses??

Yea my ground is good and I didnt touch any of the amp wiring so nothing got unplugged from that. I havent checked my amp fuses but that is the only other thing it could be i guess. Where could i find a pair of amp fuses, they are 30A's think Pepboys or Advanced auto might have something like that or maybe even bestbuy, or might i have to order them online?
