sounds like the amp has blown the output stage transistors. sony amps have a reputation for not lasting very long if you push them hard or over heat them.

your only other option is really the wiring(which i doubt). but how hard are you pushing the amp(whats the impedance load) and what can the amp handle? theres a small chance that the load is too low and you're just pushing too much current. its worth checking.
