let me explain fully where i am right now, power wire connected to battery. ground, grounded. remote wire runs to the deck. rca connections run to the deck. when i check for power, i get 12.5volts which is correct, but still the amp it self the light does not turn on , on either amp (both brand new). but the power is obviously there because it says it is. i tested the remote wire seprately as well, it is also fine. fuses are all in tact. so at this point im leaning towards it is something on the deck a button that i am unaware of that is not on, even though i have read the manual many times, and there is nothing i really havent tried. this is a mystery, a few buddies have also looked at it, it boggles there mind as well. but when i hook up the remote to the 12v the power for the amp will TURN ON. any ideas guys? any possible by passing ways or stuff like that , im really just stressed out withh this all lol. thanks

Make sure you are connecting it to the correct wire. Yes, you can "bypass" by connecting the wire to a fuse and use a toggle switch to turn them on and off. There must be something you are overlooking though.

Assuming you're getting 12v at the amp turn on, see if the remote wire will trigger a relay.  If it will wire it in to both turn on leads, and tell us if it solved the problem.  It doesn't seem likely a setting on the deck, because if you've got power through your remote lead, the amp should turn on, but it may not be providing enough current.

Yes, I do believe you have a problem with the deck, too.  Try another.

If it's brand new take it back, or put in the factory deck, using LOC's (you can even get them at Wal-Mart), and jump the turn on to the accessory lead.  I have not had good experiences with sony car audio in general.

You may have a burned out remote on the head unit. Hook the remote from the amp to your ignition wire(switched) and make sure that the amp turns on. Next is the amp only running the subs or your mids and highs. If it is running the mids and highs make sure that the speakers are connected to the amp and not the back of the head unit. If just the subs make sure that is a good connection.
