This is the first amp I have installed so who know's what is wrong. After I installed everything and connected the battery. I turned on my car and no power to the amp. It's not truning on. I check everything twice to make sure I had done it right. I checked the lead and it's connected right. I'm not sure what it could be. Should I re-install it again?

What did you use as a remote turn on lead?

I used the remote turn on wire from the alpine d900. Is the the correct wire?

Check for power at the amplifier and the turn on lead. Also check your fuses and ground.

do you have a ditigal Multimeter? you would be able to solve this very quickly, 12 volts at power wire? 12 volts at remote?

If you doubt that the remote wire isn't working, just go to the amp and short the power and remote on the amp and the amp should start. If it still does not start, you don't have ground and/or power to the amp, assuming the amp is good.
