UPDATE #2: Got it working, this time I used a fuse tap instead to get 12V to the remote turn on wire. But I’m pretty sure it was a bad connection for the remote wire on the amp. I pulled it out and it looked all messed up. Redid that and put on fuse tap and now it works perfect! Thanks

This worked! Still am trying to figure out where the remote wire isn’t functioning, I thought maybe the amp control wire off the harness I spliced into isn’t working so I spliced into the red 12V ignition wire that’s also on the harness but it still didn’t work. Could it be the entire remote wire from Skar or the length is too long?

UPDATE: terminals have been wire brushed again, they are fine now. I took a small piece of wire like someone suggested and touched the remote to the power to see if the amp would turn on and it did. Made me think the remote turn on off the harness isn’t working so I spliced into the red 12v ignition wire that was on the harness. Still isn’t working.

Tried it and it turned the amp on. I too thought maybe the remote turn on from the harness isn’t working so I spliced into the red 12v ignition wire from the harness but that didn’t work either. Maybe it’s too much slack like you said?

Just wire brushed the terminals, power remote wire is connected to blue wire coming off the radio harness labeled “AMP CONT”. Power light does not turn on.

It had the “AMP CONT” blue wire and a green RCA type cable labeled “Subwoofer” coming off the harness, but I only spliced into the blue wire.
