Everything is secure i checked. But for some reason there is no power coming through the cap. The digital display and the amp isnt even showing ANY sign of power.

Use a digital multimeter and see where you have power.

Coming through the cap? Are you saying your amps power goes through the cap?

I changed the fuse on my 4 gauge wire

The fuse on my wire is fine, i replaced it anyways and it still doesnt work. My ground is attached to the body of the car bolted down but i was told to run it to the battery would u say thats smart? Any place in Brampton that would check it out and not charge much?

First thing to do is get a voltmeter and check if there is power getting to the rear. If there is, you should check your remote turn on wire.

Ye i have a feeling its the remote for some reason even though its connected still. Maybe the wire got cut or something along the line I'll have to check.

Don't get a bigger fuse than the one that is already in there! That's a common mistake and some bad can happen.
