Check fuse, check ground. Might be internal fuse, if you have the manual check there.
could also be the 12v trigger is not wired up correctly.

what all do you have wired? it could be so many things right now, gotta help narrow it down with a little more information

Have you dont this before or is this your first amp install?

check the trigger wire again. if that doesent work and u still have the old amp swap em back out. if the old amp still works the problem is the new amp, take it back and get a swap.

could be a loose connection from the fuse coming from your battery, happened to me and i was missing an o ring so i had to get a new fuse holder.

check the fuse from the battery. when i was installing my amp, my friend that works at circuit city (not the dipshits that just work there, he actually does his own custom/installation on the side) recomended a 60 amp fuse.
