Made a bad mistake

I've been diagnosing my amp install problem which ended up being that the wires were reversed polarity that ended up constantly popping fuses. Now that it's correctly hooked up. It turns on fine. I added the remote turn on wire and started the car. The issue is that it starts in protective mode then transitions to normal mode. Does this mean it's toast? The amp? Or is this normal. I've never paid that much attention to it in my other cars.
