[QUOTE="phantom240, post: 1426121, member: 562504"] um... if i were in your shoes, id make sure that your remote turn on lead is hooked up correctly to the head unit... ive had that happen to me before and almost chucked my amp cuz of it. My dad has always taught me that when it comes to electronics, "in order to get a good output, you need a good input, so before troubleshooting this and replacing that, make sure your signals are correct and start from there." works every time for me.... if your remote is hooked up right, make sure your power and ground leads are secure and take a voltmeter to check to see if you can get voltage between the wires. If not, then you have a bad connection. After that, theres tons of things to go through, but i would say the easiest way to test it is to get your buddy's car, which has a system already, and swap your amp into his car for a minute to see if it will turn on in his car... hopethis helps.. good luck bro [/QUOTE]
