or you could run a wire right from you postive terminal on your amp, to your remote terminal on your amp and see if it turns on. make sure all your fuses are in and everything is hooked up correctly before you do. just a tiny wire, could be any type of wire, just run it how i said, and if your amp doesnt turn on, then your power wire is bad and not getting power, or your ground is bad, and not making a connection.
