Now i remembe that each amp had a light (LED) when it was on but they're off as if they're not recieving any power or not connected.
How could they both be getting power but not be on???
the remote turn on wire is either not working or not connected or has a blown fuse. It's the tiny purple wire that sends the turn on/off signal to the amps from the head unit. amps get power at the terminals, but don't actually turn on.
Car batteries are 12v, but when the car is running, it's being generated by the alternator. It doesn't really matter.
