Answer 1

well first off if u buy it from somewhere cheap it will be well cheap so always go for NAME BRANDS. if you have checked the cables\wires and u see theres nothing wrong try checking the amplifiers themselves and if worst comes to worst get professional help and if its to expensive buy a new amp. trust me its worth the trouble!

Answer 2

If you have a test light attach the power end to the power wire and the ground end to the ground wire and see if the light turns on this will let you know for sure if the wiring is set, do the same with ground and remote wire. If wiring checks out then check amp for blown fuses if not then I'm pretty sure your amp is shot. If you have any doubts you can take your amp to a car audio place to get it tested but if you check your own wiring and know your wiring is good than you can check the amp yourself using that wiring.

to check and see if your amplifier light turn on you could wired it directed power..just connect the power and remote wire from the amp together to the positive terminal of the battery and the ground wire from the amp to the negative terminal of the battery to see if the light turn at the front of the vehicle by the car battery assuming the its located at the front...hops this help!!
