Powering Up A Gm-a5602 Amp

The amp and Subs were working fine for a couple of months and then one day the blue power light would power on and shut off and you can hear a popping noise in the subs. The blue power wire had power going in but no power coming out. I opened the amp and found a circuit breaker or something that had been burnt a little. My main question to y'all is can I still hook the amp up through the 4 speaker wires and it work or does it run through the same as the blue antenna wire and I won't have any power?
