Im having trouble getting power to the explod amp. like the ground is a sufficent ground, on the amp i put the negative of my volt tester, and i put the positive of my volt tester to the battery terminal on the amp, and i read 12V. but the amp doesnt turn on, its brand new. the remote line is hooked up to the deck, i checked both sides of the wire and there is conductivity. So i tried to see if i could turn it on just by jumping a wire from the battery to the remote on the amp, and it turned on. but its not very good for it so i took it off, just for a test, so i clasified it as a remote problem. I just cant get it. what is the problem? STILL NO POWER TO THE AMP, deck turns on fine.

Hey check your fuses both in your amp and also the fuse that runs on your power wire
hey, if you are getting power from the battery and using it as a remote to turn ur amp on, there is no problem with the current and ground, like u said, obviously the remote.. the remote on ur amp seems to be working too, i sugest trying the amp on a different unit, maybe its a problem with the unit's remote?
Do you have the deck configured so that the amplifier is set to 'on'? Also, what color wire from the headunit is it hooked up to?

ive tried 3 different amps on it and all the same result. NOTHING. so maybe its the deck that is fucked...? you think? the deck is fairly new also. sony explod, just like everything else inside the damn NON WORKING unit.

light blue.... and whats this about setting the deck up to ampifier on???? CURIOUS? how?
Light blue...is that the only blue wire? Normally they have blue/white as the amp turn on. What model is your CD player? It should be somewhere in the audio settings menu....
some Headunits have a seperate setting for subs out, but even still, your amp should be powered when ur head unit is on.
u said u tried 3 different amps on it and same result, well im guessing its the HU then, try ur amp on a friends HU, if it gets powered, then i guess its either ur HU, or ur not connecting it to the remote?
