Amp fried?

Sounds like your subs are fried - check the ohms on the subs, and lightly push in them - see if they ride freely, or if they have a lot of resistance, or squeak. If either of the last two are true your subs are fried.......
If your subs show less than 4 ohms (assuming you don't have dual voice coils or anything) they are probably blown.....and last, but not least - take a sub out and smell it - if it smells burnt.....it is.....

Wait...before you return it.
Don't pull the load (subs) off an amp and then push it. The amp is looking for a certain amount of resistance at the output (usually around 2, 4, or 8 ohms). This will overdrive the amp and cause the protection circuit to kick in. If your sub(s) are blown they will smell burnt and you won't see less than 4 ohms, you will see an open (many meg-ohms) because speaker don't blow short (the voice coil acts as a short and you should see less than 8 ohms on a good speaker) they go open when they blow.
