Stereo Install Issue

So I bought a little system for my truck. Got a Pioneer AVH-P4400BH head unit, a JL Audio 300/2v2 amp, and a JL Audio 500/1v2 amp. Got some Hertz components and a JL sub.

I've got the amps all wired up with proper size wiring. They both have power going to them but are not coming on. I checked with my meter. I imagine it has to be something with the remote wire but they are both connected. I have the radio sitting out and have it visibly tied together (blue and white wire on the radio).

Any suggestions as to what else I can check? I'm taking a break right now but when I go back down I'm going to hook the remote wire to the power wire and see if they come on.

Only other thing I can think of is maybe there's some kind of setting on the radio I need to use to make the amps come on but I haven't read anything about that.

.

Is the amp itself not coming on At all? Are the lights in the amp lighting up?

Or is it the amp is getting power, turning on and just not giving a signal to the subs?

If the remote wire Is the case some companies use the solid blue wire for remote turn on and not the blue/white tracer

If neither work you can wire it to any key on power source if the remote turn on is for sure your problem

Yea check the amps fuse

I got it. It was part ground and part amp.

I didn't notice that it was sealer right where I had the ring terminal for the grounds sitting so I took care of that and the 300/2 amp came on but not the 500/1. Started looking at the front of the amp and all the switches in it (the front of it looks like a friggin' mixing board) and there was one that said something like input signal. When I switched it on the amp came on.

I've got the component crossovers set and wired, sub is hooked up, component woofer wires run. So tomorrow I just need to finish my adapter plates to mount the component woofers and mount them, mount and run the wires for the component tweeters, and run a few more things on the head unit and mount it.

It actually sounds pretty dang good already. I can tell it's gonna sound fantastic once everything's done. Hopefully I can get UNBROKEN to stop by here one day on his travels to help me set up all the dang buttons, dials, and switches on these amps. LOL
