Well the Imprint hopefully does the trick, Try changing the rca's to the rear if all your power is in check. Have you actually metered the power wire, I can vouche what Jalat is saying, Most of my amps trigger lights, but then no power, so the 12volt source is usually comprimised.

well see, i own that same amp, and headunit.

whenever i disconnect any power from the headunit, it automatically disables the subwoofer. so holding down the imprint button will allow you to turn it back on. hes stating that clicking down the volume ****, he can adjust his subwoofer level, meaning that the sub is infact turned on, via the imprint button.

I'm thinking there is no power going to the amp from the power wire and the remote wire is triggering the blue light to come on.

I took my sub out of my box and hooked it up without any box at all. It worked so it has to be the terminal in the back of the box. I don't really know why though, maybe I got some silicone on the gold plates.
