[QUOTE="Deiimos, post: 8891048, member: 682903"] I agree there is a good probability it is still a connection issue somewhere. I would highly suggest testing the amps directly next to the car battery with short pieces of power cable (a few feet long, can even use smaller 10 gauge for low power testing), jump the 12v+ to remote and see if the amp powers on. Two basically new amps doing the same thing is a bit odd, which warrants a simple, direct bench test to remove the rest of the system from the equation. Do NOT connect a sub or RCA cables to it for initial power on testing. If the bench test allows the amp to power on, you then run RCA cables to the input, connect a subwoofer, and test for output.
