Amp Problem

Okay, heres the deal. I had everything working great in my car, then it got broken into, headunit stolen, luckily my subs and amp were not. So I go get a new headunit, a Sony Xplod C610 (I don't want to hear how Sony sucks btw) and hook everything back up. Well now, a red LED in my amp comes on, but the green power LED doesn't, and it doesn't work. Obviously it's getting power, but it's not working. I know nothings blown because it was working 3 days ago. I checked all the wiring, everything's fine. Any help would be appreciated.

The amp is an American Pro 200 watt (yeah I know, sucks, getting new one soon)
Subs are Sony Xplod XL1235, 2 12"s

Nope cause the red light comes on and off with the radio.

How do you have your subs wired?.. If you'e have them wired to a 2ohm load and the amp is only 4 hm stab;e there's the problem. Otherwise..amps blown.
