Remove the remote wire from the amp in question, does it turn off? Remote wire = the smaller wire located either between the power and ground connections, or right next to them.

that's it, i'm voting for more school funding... tomorrow!

make sure there are no loose strands of wire touching from your constant wire terminal to your remote wire terminal. if your remote wires are jumped off of each other it should keep both amps on but ive seen weirder things happen so this is something i would just check into.

if you take out the remote wire from the amp that stays on and it doesn't turn off then something is probably shorted internally and it's keeping the amp on.
