Default Need install help amp won't power up

2012 SG. Upgrading system

Previous: HK HU, PA RZ4 2000D, Biketronics 7.1.

New system: Aquatics HU, PA RZ4 2000D bridged to DD AW 6.5's with grille mounted DD At28 tweets, DD crossovers.

Situation: I removed my working PA RZ4 2000D. Removed HK HU. Installed Aquatics HU, installed DD speaks, reinstalled amp. Now amp won't power up. Ive checked all fuses (amp and power line at battery) ground, and remote power. All wiring is tight and no fuses are blown.

This is not my strong suit so looking for some assistance. Thanks!

I hope I haven't forgotten anything.

Did you check the remote wire fuse and the fuse on the amp?

Is your remote wire coming from the HU or the cig lighter?

Bates,
Down by the headlight. But, I did pull the cig lighter for the USB charging jack. Did that break a circuit or something? Maybe I should hook up to the remote power from the HU?

Yeah if the Aqautics has a remote wire use it.

Edit: I looked up the wiring diagram on that HU. Most definitely use the blue remote wire.
