Massive Problem KX2500.1

Ok, so i fire up my car to leave my friends and hear a pop then smell burning.... Smoke is billowing from my remote wire and it seems it had gotten loose from my amplifier and touched ground while still inside the remote section of the amp. This is visually the only thing i think could have happened.

Amp light turns on amp doesnt work, opened up the case and notice a few burnt fets and some bars... Ile get pics later but if theirs char marks on the board do you think this is still fixable and how costly would the repair be? I have horrible luck and just want to push this whole car off a cliff at some point... BAH!!

What was the reason the Remote wire came undone?

i dont know honestly... Just happened over time i guess maybe from vibration? All i know is that it hurts to have something stupid like that to such a nice but expensive amp :| Any idea where i can get it fixed and how much something like this would cost to fix?

How much do you want for it?

I don't understand, there is a wire inside the amp? Did it blow the HU too?

To be honest i dont want to sell it, its by far the best amp ive EVER owned... If its repairable ide rather just spend the money and kicker hasnt gotten back to me for 2 days now. The wire came part way out of the remote turn on hole, and a few strands managed to touch the ground wire it seems.... Guess i was stupid for using my spare 12 guage for a remote turn on... The deck fuse saved it, it burned out the inline when this happened. I was scared my 7800MP died, i love that deck.
