What is wrong when my amp shows that there is power to the amp and the subwoofer doesnt play, ive checked the fuses, and converterbox wiring, and the remote wiring and all the stuff like that i think it is the wiring from the subwoofer wiring in the enclosure

You can try to connect the remote power wire at amplifier to main power with a jumper wire if sub works with cd and other sources.Then check remote wire from behind radio or you can simply connect remote power wire to a another switched power source from fuse panel.Just make sure its a clean dedicated power source from fuse box and make sure it turns off amp..Goodluck
Even tho the power light is on doesnt exactly mean that the amp is sending signal to the speaker wires.... sense everything else is working make sure to check your fuses on the amp and also check to make sure that the amp is "receiving" an input from the RCAs
to make sure it's the subwoofer at fault and not the amp, speaker wire, rca's, radio, power, or ground wiring, you should, if possible, hook up a known good subwoofer to see if it works properly. if it doesnt, check fuses, grounds, the remote amp turn on wiring, etc. it could even be something as simple as a setting on the stereo itself. if the substitute subwoofer does work properly, double check to be sure the original sub is wired correctly. if it is, i'm afraid you've got a faulty/bad subwoofer. I hope this helps and good luck!
Short in amp ? try swiching wire's to speaker's around . if other speaker then work's , speaker's are both fine . if not , then short in amp , or blown channel in amp . get new one or find someone who know's more than i do about amp's
If the fuses are good , this could still be a prob with amp, check spkrs with a ohmeter(cheap one from the Shack or anyplace) by touching both leads to spkr terminals, disconnect spkrs first.Have ohmeter set to ohms Rx1 and you Test amp out put by connecting two spkrs that you know are good. Good luck and please rate this answer,thanks.
remove main battery fuse, and install new fuse into amplifier. then use a capacitor to slowly charge the amplifier. Some advanced installers use lights that go out when all capacitors are fully charged to avoid instant charge & Discharge of internal capacitors. you may have already damaged amplifier. Also check for loose wire strands making contact with amp chassis or other port in terminal strip.
You changed the fuses on the amp, but have you checked the fuse that is inline on the +12V wire? Most of the time, it's right near the battery terminal.
Do you have +12V at the amp's power terminals? If not, either your +12V or ground line has a break or disconnect.
Try taking a piece of wire and connecting it to both the remote connection of the amp and the +12V on the amp. This should cause the amp to turn on (if all is well). If not, the issue might be internal to the amp and would require professional repair.
