(No More) amp problems
I purchased a Infinity Reference 7540a amp two weeks ago and attempted to install it today. The amp did not turn on when I started the car after installing it so I tested the ground, 12V source and remote connections with a voltmeter and all of them tested as they should. I do not know of anything to do to correct the situation and believe it might be a problem with the amp. What do you think?

did you hook up the remote turn-on wire from the deck/harness to the amp? thats what turns it on not just having power/ground connected.

grenloch101056 is an unknown quantity at this point
as long as the speaker leads arent grounding out some where and you have 12 volts on the remote turn on lead and 12 volt lead, and a good ground, then yeah its the amp.

You said you patched it in? As in you physically spliced it? Might not be enough current to work for both. I think the remote turn on lead is only .1 amps or something.

I think the remote can handle .5 amps, and is enough to power up 2 amps

turns out when I tested my ground with the ohmmeter I was grounding out on the amp and not the wire. So I moved my ground and everything works now. Pics to come

that's a distribution block, allowing me to take one input power source (bottom) and turn it into two output sources (top, one for each amp)

Glad you figured it out. hmm I want that power splitter, I am temporarily using the amp as the splitter, which is probably..bad.
Not to be a stickler, but did you run..the power on same side as RCA's?
