You hold the copper of the power cable and touch the power terminal on the amp? What size cable are you using?

Do you mean the amp works fine in your friends car? It could that your hu isnt sending any music signals down the rcas? Or the remote isnt working on your hu. Do you have lights on, on the amp? If so its probably speaker terminals.

Ok well is it a setting on your headunit? The reason it worked in your mates car could be that he doesnt have the setting you have. Check the manual for the HU and see if there is a special sub setting that needs turning up to get a doesnt sound.
