500 1v2 not powering on

Well after a long day of troubleshooting and figuring out why it wont turn on.

I have ran the power cable (4gauge) from battery to my trunk
Got a good ground ( sanded and placed a bolt also 4gauge)
Ran my remote wire to the IGN fuse with a fuse tap.

It should of turned on and everything I crimped everything good volt meter shows power to my 4gauge power cable. I couldn't really see if there were any volts from the remote wire.

I tried tapping into other fuses etc etc still nothing. I had my friend who does audio and he was stumped as well.


It seems like my amp is fried? When i bought it on craigslist I had the previous owner run the amp for me and it powered a sub no problem and the lights turned on. But for some reason I can't get it to turn on.

Any ideas?

I had my friend take the amp and try to run it on his car to see if it is a dead amp.

I opened up the amp and smelled it as well and it didn't smell like smoke, it smelled like it was fresh out of the box.
