Do you have a multimeter? if so what are your readings on the power and remote with the vehicle running, and using the amp ground as your ground reference for your meter?
How many subs are you running on this amp? What impedance is the amplifier currently seeing?

Protection mode usually means a transistor is blown. If you can't get it to come on with no subs hooked up then its a goner.
