Default Amp not getting power

I got my system put in my car a few months ago and everythings been working great untill a few days ago when i checked my amp when i noticed it wasnt even getting power. I checked all the connecetions and replaced the fuses in the amp and it still is not working. Any suggestions would be great.

Did you get your system professionally installed? if so, take it to them and have them look at it.

There's probably another fuse inline with the power wire.

Check your fuse at the battery also your connections at the battery,I have one question for you ? how many amps are you running 1 or 2 if 2 is the other amp working? Do you have you system fused at the battery ? and also did you make sure that your ground is tight and on clean metal ( no paint ) ?

Are you sure the amp isnt getting power, or the amp just isnt turning on. Usually power wire just doesnt break and there is 1 fuse inline on the power wire. If anything your amp probally fried. I would just use a simple multi meter to test the voltage of the power wire at the amp as well as the remote wire. if they both show 12v+ then its your amp.
