Help I Cant Get My Subs To Work!!!

basically i have power going to my ampifier because the amplifier light turns on, as well as i took my test light and put it on the positive terminal on my amp for the power wire and the light turned on, ....but this is the thing, when i test the terminals on the amp where the speaker wires for the subs the light does not come on. i know the amp was working when i got it because i had it workiong ealier, but i unhooked it then hook the system back up and now its not working. so what does that mean now that the speaker terminals arent working????

either the deck .......you have the sub feature off.............
or you blew the channel of the amp........or the amp is hooked up wrong and the protect is shutting it off

i would make sure the rcas are plugged in right also try the radio see if your remote is hooked to radio annt. instead of the remote wire........don't kow how many times i have hooked it to the power anttena wire wich is also blue and the amp only turns on when the radio is on only not cd's tapes ect.

RCA cables have nothing to do with the amount of power the amp requires... there are differences, and weather or not one can hear them is not something that needs to be brought up again, but even a set you found at the dollar store would still work.
