Default think i blew my amp

well i got a distribution block today so i could wire up an amp for my sub and an amp for my 6x9's or tweeters. well i had the block wired up, and i went to put the power wire into the block and there was a small spark. i thought it was no big deal and no fuses had blown. so anyways i finish all the wiring, then go to start the car and the amp doesnt turn on. so i check the inline fuse by my battery... it's fine. i check the fuses again in to distro block, they're fine. so i take the distro block out and wire it up the way i had it before i got the block, and it still wont turn on. my remote turn on wire is fine too. i have no clue what happened, but im gonna tear the amp apart tomorrow. is there anything i should look for? any input at all?

You measured all the voltage at the input terminals of the amp? If not, do that. No power light? No fault/protect light on the amp?

i havent checked any of the voltages yet because my dad has my multimeter (and he's about 2 hours from me). so i might just pick a new one up tonight. what all should i test when i get it?
