You'll have to bear with me a bit, im not really up on all this car amps stuff..

Connection at other end is just 2 that plug in, like pins.. black and red pins that you slot in, thats the only wires at that end..

Any ideas on what to do, is it wired completely wrong?

Yes when i installed my first amp I connected the rem to the loom, not to the headunit lol

Everything is connected already, like to battery and things and has all worked before, ive just had to uncouple amp because i had to move it.. now when ive tried to put it back ive forgot how to do it!

If it wasnt connected to the headunit, will it still come on at least? Are all the wires in the right place?

it wont, the remote controls when the amp turns on via the hu. if thats all connected fine then check your power and earth. and check fueses too.

cant really think of anything else it could be.

:( just checked and its in at the back of the cd player OK..

Hummm, are all the wires in the amp properly? The other side of the amp has those that run to the HU the black and red ones? Those are in properly..

only thing can say is to check fueses. or are you 100% sure the remote is connected to the remote at the back of the HU properly.

fueses on amp check them too. and fuese in your power lead.

check them yourself, and fueses are unlikely.

most likely earth has come loose or remote is not connected properly.

Sorted it, it was the main fuse that'd blown, probabily when all the wires were out and the two fat ones touched and sparked quite a bit, the fuse was blown to shreds, paid £1 and its all sorted now! :) Loving it again.. I'll post some pics of my new boot built that I made when its fully finished :)

Thanks for help people :thumbs:
