Default amp power problems!!!!!

I recently swithced to a bigger amp and then back, when i switched back i blew a fuse so i replaced it with the same size fuse. Then the amp wouldnt get power even after i replaced the fuse, so i switched the amps again, that one wouldnt work either. My friend let me borrow his amp and it wouldnt work either. I checked all the fuses and none of them are blown. Can anyone tell wats wrong??

Bad ground? Remote turn on? Did you check your inline fuse, not just the fuse on the amps?

There is a wire that should go to the amp. That is the REM wire..
Tells the amp the radio is on, and its time to turn on.
You can test by putting 12v to it and see if the amp turns on.
