I don't mean to insult your intelligence but have you used a test light or volt meter to confirm power at the amp, reversed process to confirm a good ground, then powered your head unit to confirm signal from the remote line? From my non-profesional experience, in similar situtations alot of my problems came from either a loose ground source or corrosion at the fuse link. If all checks out it's probably safe to say the amp is bad. Hope this helps.

Exactly.. Make sure where you grounded it is making contact with bare metal...Also check the remote turnon from the headunit to confirm it's working...It's the blue or blue and white wire(whatever color the shop used) at your amp........
Let us know your results...

ended up being a loose remote wire.
