My radio died in my car a few weeks ago, then it suddenly worked again. I have power to the radio, but it seems like my amps arent getting power as none of the power lights on the amps are lit. So today i pulled everything apart and noticed this. ![http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v223/scarfa21/Apr252008_0013.jpg](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v223/scarfa21/Apr252008_0013.jpg) Should this connect to the amp remote wire? Fucking electronics!!! ![http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v223/scarfa21/Apr252008_0014.jpg](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v223/scarfa21/Apr252008_0014.jpg) I dunno all this shit is confusing to me. ---

that is exactly what happened, looks like the remote came off, no remote = no signal to turn on the amp(s). reconnect it (preferably solder and shrink wrap the connection) and you should be cool ---

Update–Tested all connections today, i have remote power to amp. I also tested my main wire going to the battery, I have power there also. I just seems im not getting main power to my amps, Main power cable is good at the fuse box, but inbetween there and the amp it goes by by. I dont think it could be that distro block, and it would be quite a coincidence that both of my amps blew. See why i hate this shit…lol ---
