WF?!? Is my amp or sub dead?

I just got my amp hooked up finally, MTX 2150x and I hooked it up to my sub and it bumps 50,000 times per minute not to the music or anything, the bitch goes crazy, anybody know what's going on? I played with the x-over settings an EQ/Gain for Hours!!@#!

Is it gone or am I just really stupid?

I had that same problem when I was hooking mine up, I was borrowing my friends cd player for awhile becuase I was waiting for my new one and whenever I plugged the RCAs into the "sub outs" on the cd player the subs would just keep going up and down and up and down (kind of like a porno) So i think that the cd player was messed up.. try plugging your RCA's into the Rear Out if you have them on the sub out now. And if that doesn't help make sure that the ends of the RCA wires are not touching any metal objects or each other... take some electrical tape and wrap it around any connections that you make, and if that doesnt help then i would see if anybody else has any ideas or take it to best buy or something and see what they say.
