does everything else in your car still work? if so then your battery is fine. check your fuses for your power wire and your amp fuses, if those are good then take your wires off your battery post and clean it with a wire brush and get it lookin new. get back to us after youve done that

So your other amp/amps are working? If so use the wiring from one of them to test it.

Oh ok I saw that you hava a sub amp listed in your sig. So when you said that only your mid amp wasn't working I assumed that you other amp still worked, and maybe using the wires from your sub amp to test your mid amp could eliminate bad wiring.

If you were to use the leads from your sub amp and you mid amp powered up then you would have found your problem
