You shouldn't 0 on one when the other resistor in that channel has voltage.
While monitoring the voltage, turn the bias on that channel. Does the voltage change?

That's lower than they were previously.
What meter are you using that can read to less than 1mv?

Did you check to see if the bias current went up when you rotated the pots from full CW towards CCW?
There are a small number of Rockford amps that have the pots for bias reversed (fully CCW is higher biased than fully CW, as it is with most of their amps). You were having trouble with excessive current draw. I wanted you to run them fully clockwise with the limiter to see if that decreased the current draw. It would be safe to do with the limiter and watching the temperature of the outputs. Then, monitoring the voltage across the 0.03 ohm source resistors, you could safely turn the pots to see which limit caused the higher voltage across those resistors.
Looking at the output with the scope (no load) does the amp produce audio at the speaker terminals.
