    Check the turn-on lead (solid blue wire used to tell amp when to turn on.) Make sure there's nothing breaking contact between the head-unit and the amplifier. Make sure it's also secure on the amplifier's input.

    Next check the ground of the amplifier. If there's paint between the metal and the ground wire you need to rid the ground contact point of paint.

    Check the fuse on the power wire, it might be blown.

    If nothing fixes this you might have a bad amp. Good luck!

    see if your remote wire is hook up in your radio. Or check your ground make sure it's secure. Or if that don't work look at your fuse in the power wire. Or maybe your amp is just shutting off cause you got some subs it can't push and it's in protection mode. Hope I helped thanks.

    check the connections of the remote turn on(blue wire) to the head unit.

    check the ground connection.

    check the amp to see if its in protect.

    check the battery to see if the power wire is connected.

    Check your blue turn on wire for current or to see if its still connected. this sounds like it's the most likely problem, if not may be something more serious.
