Default Re: amp good or bad?

Sure! On your amp there should be three terminals. One for the power (red wire on battery) one for the ground, and one for your remote turn on lead. Take a small piece of wire and touch it from the power to the turn on terminal and see if the light comes on.

Once my amp stopped working and wouldnt turn on, but i knew i had power, all fuses ok etc. What had happened was my remote turn on wire got severed cause i ran it poorly.

What the turn on wire does is get signal from when the radio turns on, and allows the amp to be turned on, because without that youd be getting a constant 12v to the amp whether truck was on or off, draining your battery.

also, be sure that youre getting a good connection from power to turn on terminal, dont just touch wire from screw to screw, make sure its on the plate that both wires touch.
