I have been trying to get my amp to kick on for weeks now. Glass, Isaac and others have been kindly answering my questions trying to help me. First we thought my alt was bad(it turned out i did have a bad battery but that wasn't the cause)then we thought the amp was simply blown. we went through ground wires, remote wires, and dmm test after test. in the end...a lack of a solid connection at the fuse holder near the battery was causing my amp to not turn on. This was my first install and i can tell you, next time i will be paying close attention to all of my wiring, making sure i have solid connections. so again every who has been helping me, it's much appreciated. Now im going for a drive. peace
