No Power to my Amps!!!
Im not very good with car audio, but I have 2 Amps connected. I was listening to music and all of a sudden both amps turned off. My stereo is still working and turns on fine, I checked all fuses and the ground is good. Anyone know what can be going on???

Have you checked if the 12v wire is getting any power or if the remote turn on gets any power? The ground might also be bad even if it looks fine. The fuse might from the battery to the amp might also be bad. If you have a meter, check the wires for voltage and ground for continuity......

i know you said it was good but try sanding down the spot where you grounded it to, to bare metal. i have seen many people buy new amps all over a bad contact on the ground. a bad ground is usually what causes the amp to not turn on at all

Check the main fuse from your battery to amp, assuming you have one if not 
Check 12v turn on as others have said and make sure the ground is good. By good I mean making solid contact with bare metal, no paint whatsoever.

You should be checking for power at the amp. Check you main power as well as the remote turn on wire. The check continuity to from ground to the ground terminal on the amp.

There are two 12V+ power leads at the amp, the "heavy" gauge cable from the batt., [amp power] and "lighter" gauge amp control lead from the HU, the power cable from the batt. is 12V+ constant, [hot at all times] the amp control lead is 12V+ switch, [hot when HU is on], make sure both these leads have 12V+ on them when the HU is on.
