Amp Not turning on?

[BumpMW 10+ year member]

so im driving and take a hard turn and my sub turns off. i thought that the sub may have slid around and the rcas fell out but when i opened the trunk everything was fine.

it turns out the amp will no longer turn on (the led light will not shine and it does not play music)

i checked all of the fuses and they are fine. I checked my power source and im getting 12.5 volts.

I also checked the remote wire when the head unit was turned on and got .6 volts.

anybody have an idea of what is wrong?

.6 volts at the remote line is the problem. It should be 12 when the radio is on. To check you can temporarily jump the positive power terminal over the the rem line just to see if it turns on
