Amp not working

i just bought this amp off ebay, its a Jensen XA2250 i believe,500W/2ch.the amp looks brand new and the guy said it worked fine.i put it in today and i couldn't get it to put out but just a little bit of sound,barely vibrate the sub.i played with the adjustments,switches,adjustments on radio,everything i could think of.im running a 12"sony xplode.i even hooked it up in my friends jeep because i know his works(he has same sub) and it did the same thing.my rca's look fine but i have another set to try if i need to.any ideas?

also the amp that had in there before was a Jensen LXA400 400W/4ch.i left the back glass open and it rained on it,stupid me,and it fried a couple fuses but when you hooked it up it would work a little then the sub would like stutter and it would just keep doin that everytime it hit.if you have any ideas on that id appreciate it cause it was a pretty good amp.

thanks guys

Since you tested the amp against two known-working subs and you have wired it twice, it is fairly safe to say the amp is bad.
