Question no power from 4ch amp

ok. My setup is a kicker kx1200.1 and a kicker kx850.4. I've had this for about 6 weeks, and everything worked fine until a few days ago. When I turned on my car, only the bass amp turned on, but not the 4ch amp. My radio would also power up, but only allowing bass through. I checked the power wire (WITH ONE OF THOSE "PENS" with the LED that checks for current), and I also checked the REMOTE lead going into the amp. They BOTH light up, but the amp does not. I also checked the 3 fuses on the side of the amp. What can be my problem???

check your ground wire for the 4channel amp, it may have come loose.. and if you have a distribution block for the power for ur amps, check that also..I think something is just loose.. good luck!

So, on the amp, there's no indication of power going to the amplifier? No Leds on the amp turn on?

If that's the case, I don't know, Re-check your power and ground cables. Are you running one power cable then through a distrobution block for the two amps?

If there is power to the amplifier, try check the RCAs, swap the RCAs with the subwoofer just to see if any noise comes throug.

darklegacy540 is on a distinguished road
Test for power out of your signal inputs with a DMM, check for resistance in your remote lines, power cables.. are you using a relay? Check that too, even though it's almost impossible to blow out a relay.. Umm, yeah check the grounds.. check everything! ha
