Use a multimeter to check if you have power on the wire.
Check the spec of the wire and fuses to make sure it can actually supply the amp that which the amp requires.
Post in the right place.

if you can, invest in a multimeter, best thing for stuff like this, will let you check your voltage on your power and remote, check you have a decent eart(rub down point on metal) double check for loose wires and check the fuse is ok  hard to help fix just by explainin

IM guessing you've connected the remote wire up, most common bit left ive found when people have been fitting amps

Sorry you've had that bad experience but you'll have an even worse one if you rewrite the rules for your benefit and the post gets deleted.
My advice would be see how the post gets on after I move it in the right place.

The HZ threads have related threads at the bottom which can sometimes help find other information about your problem. Plus we're less tolerant in here of spam/jokey posts so you're most likely to get a proper reply that you want to read than elsewhere.
You'll need to edit your title if you want related threads as yours isn't so good at the moment.

Check the fuse within the power cable, sounds simple but the amount of times i've seen it and done it myself, worst case scenario buy a multimeter and try every combination....
