Default Amp wiring help . . . . again

Welll..... all the sudden my amp stops working, so I go and I buy another one, so I hook it up and still nooo power. So I go and I buy another wiring kit. Its a better one this time. Well I hook everything up and still no power. I also had my buddy test out the old amp, and it works fine. I have no idea what the problem is, someone help me out! ! I need my boom boom back !

And my ground is just fine

Get a volt meter, turn key to on position so radio is on. Check for 12 volt at remote and power wire. If you have power to both, you need a better ground. If you dont, trace backwards on which wire does not have power.

First.. Check your inline fuse on your power wire. Then Make sure your power terminal is not corroded to bad. May not be getting power to the amp.

Dont hook your remote to your antenna. It needs to hook into the back of your head unit. There is a wire specifically for remote. it is blue like stated above.
