MA Audio M489I 4-channel amp (specs: https://www.sonicelectrnix.com/item_2676.html )

All wires are hooked up (From the battery to the amp). No fuses are blown. No smoke. Just does not turn on.....

AHH!

Jump a temporary wire from the remote on to the +12v terminal on the amp. Does it turn on? Is the ground good? Is the fuse on the main power line good? Have you metered the terminals at the amp to ensure you have power and ground or are you using the force?

....

was the remote power wire :x. It came out (I don't have the amp secured down yet, because I'm still doing some extra work, so it must have come out when i was going around a curve or something).

Don't worry.. I went ahead and slapped myself for being a moron :P
