Are you using line inputs (speaker wire) or the RCA cables from the head to the amp? That 60Wx4 is such bull, they should be fined for even putting that on a box.

240W peak = 60W RMS = 80W clean
means 20Wx4 clean power.

Anyway, get a multi-tester (about $10 USD) and check for DC power on the amp, then AC power on the inputs & outputs. You probably have a short somewhere.
