Sony Xplod 1000watt not turning on

So I just got my used 2007 Ford Focus the other day and wanted to install a better sound system. I bought some Kicker 6x9's and installed the 4 of them into my doors. I got a pioneer x3500ui. I installed all proper cables and such. I got a Sony Xplod 1000 watt amp and a 800 watt 12' Pioneer sub from a friend. I tested the sub with a friend's amp and it works fine. So I installed the REM wire to the "Amp power on" cable on the back of the head unit. I mounted the amp and connected all necessary cables. I verified that the amp wire is getting power and it has a good ground (I checked these with a power detector). I turned on the car and all the door speakers worked. I checked the sub and it wasn't on.

I checked the amp and I was unable to verify that the power/ protector LED was on or not. It wasn't getting hot or anything, and I was switching some cables around to test it. I tried tweaking some radio settings, but nothing worked.

I was going to check and make sure the fuses on the amp were fine. If anyone had any answers or suggestions I would happily like to hear them.

 
Thanks everyone for all the help! I found out that the cables leading to the REM and "Amp turn on" were not connected properly. So now the sub and amp works!

Are your tweeters amplified or powered by the radio or maybe factory amp? I'd check your wiring for sure, make sure 12v power and ground are...
