[QUOTE="Firewalker, post: 8753544, member: 676743"] You should start over from the beginning. Make sure every connection is good, make sure there is no cuts in the power cable that is running back to your area. That can happen very easily depending on the quality of the power cable that you use. Make sure that the bolt you grounded to has no paint and that it is a solid connection. Check the remote turn on wire as well for breaks or cuts in it. After that just for the heck of it, try running a new power wire without it being hidden with using the fuse holder of course along with a new remote wire and ground wire to another location. One by one eliminate each wire and go from there. Send the other amp for repair. Also make sure the subwoofer or speakers are wired right positive to positive negative to negative and ohm them out as they suggested. I would also try another set of rca cables just for the heck of it if you decided to do all that. At this point you should just get back to basics and slowly eliminate each wire and go from there. That way if you find hey this power wire works but the other one that is ran already doesn't you found your problem. Idk where in chicago you are and who you took it to but would be interested to know since I am from that area. Good luck with it! [/QUOTE]
