.93 volts is not enough to turn the amp on.  You should have no lights with that amount of voltage.   Black meter lead to the ground terminal of the amp.  Not to the chassis of the car, but on the terminal of the amp.   Red lead to positive terminal of the amp.  Then red lead to the remote terminal, you must have the radio powered up for the remote reading.

Ok i will give it a try. What should my voltage be? ANd if it all pans out correctly what else could possibly be going on with it? The reason i ask is i have two rockford Punch 160 watt amps that are doing teh same thing the audiobahn is doing. So any kik thing i can do to diagnose these would be a huge help. but my main concern is my audiobahn.

It should read just above or near 12 volts without the engine running. Remember the radio has to be turned on. That is assuming you connected the amp's remote terminal to the radio's amp remote wire.

well good news. my amp is working. it came down to the fuse i was usuing under my hood. It was a faulty fuse and would work heat up and the loose connection inside it self. I replaced the fuse and i get full voltage on both power and remote.  Thank you for all your help. Now i just need to figure out why my to rockford punch 160.2 amps arent working and my Sony XM3040 isnt working.

That volt meter can be your friend.  Was the AGU fuse gold in color?  If you can get a Buss, Bussman, or a LittleFuse branded fuse, you should have a lot less trouble with one of those.
