Check your ground wire(s) and all your fuses. Sometimes your fuse will blow, but still look like it is ok, try a new fuse to be sure.

Yeah the amp could be blown. Some amps have a safety feature that will make the unit power on, but not send out any power. This is called "Safe Mode" You probably fried something in the amp, and will need to replace it. I'm not sure about any of this so don't quote me, but if I had to guess, I'd say you need a new amp.

Are you using a stock Monsoon system with a line level converter for your signal to the amp? I've seen the line level converters go bad sometimes and that could be an issue as well. I thought it was my amp when this happened also. Just one more thing to rule out that I didn't see listed. Good luck, hopefully it's not your amp.

I left my windows down one night and it got dewy out and i started my car the next day and fried my amp. If i had to bet i would say it is the amp because if you checked your wires there is nothing else it could be except a fuse on the back of the head unit.
