The amp rating of NM (Non-Metallic) wire varies depending on the gauge of the wire. For example, a 14-gauge NM wire typically has an amp rating of 15 amps, while a 12-gauge NM wire has an amp rating of 20 amps. It is important to consult local building codes and regulations to determine the appropriate wire gauge and amp rating for specific applications.
The standard color coding for fuses in American wire is as follows: 15-amp fuse: blue 20-amp fuse: yellow 30-amp fuse: green
The amp size of a wire is determined by its gauge, not the number of wires. An 8-gauge wire is typically rated for around 40-60 amps, depending on the type and insulation of the wire.
The L5-30 plug is a twist-lock plug commonly used for 30 amp circuits. The wiring is typically color-coded: black wire goes to the brass terminal (hot), white wire goes to the silver terminal (neutral), and green wire goes to the green terminal (ground). Make sure to follow the manufacturer's instructions and always double-check the wiring to ensure safety.
Using a wire rated for 100 amps for a 60-amp circuit is generally fine. It's important to ensure that the wire gauge matches the amperage requirements to prevent overheating and potential fire hazards. Check local electrical codes to confirm that it is within regulations.
the rem slot on your amp to the rem trigger on your deck (blue wire on most aftermarket desks)
Have you checked for a lose ground power or rem wire?
put fuseable lin on the power wire that goes to the amp

The deck has to be a aftermarket deck. On the wiring harness, you will see a blue wire that says rem. Hook it up there and you should be good
Easy way to check were the problem is take a 6" piece of wire. Unhook the remote wire from your amp. Then hookup your 6" piece of wire to amp remote terminal then take other end and connect to the 12+ terminal. If amp powers up the its in the headunit. If amp does not powerup or goes into protect mode the amp is problem.
The standard color coding for fuses in American wire is as follows: 15-amp fuse: blue 20-amp fuse: yellow 30-amp fuse: green
'Rem' stands for remote, you connect a turn on lead to it so the amp knows to power on.

The purpose of a fuse it to protect the wire that goes to the load. A 15 amp fuse protects a #14 gauge wire. A 20 amp fuse protects a #12 gauge wire. To answer your question if the wire size is #12 coming from the 15 amp fuse now then it can be upped to 20 amp fuse. If it isn't then you are taking the risk of overloading the #14 wire with a 20 amp fuse. This can lead to insulation failure of the #14 wire, overheating with the possible outcome of a fire breaking out somewhere in the circuit.
the remote wire goes into the back of the deck (head unit). it tells the amp to turn on when the deck is powered up, if you don't connect it it will continue to drain power from your battery.
To install a amp, You will need to purchess a wiring kit. You will see three screws on the amp, One that says, pos another that says neg/gnd and another that says rem. The one taht says pos is positive. That is where you put the red wire. The red wire connectes to your battery, before connecting it though, the wiring kit should have came with a fuse setup. The fuse has to get connected to the red wire that comes with the kit. Typically you have to cut the red wire (the one that came with the kit, not the one connected to the battery) and put the fuse system in there put the fuse about 6 inches from the battery. After doing that, dont hook up that wire yet. The neg/gnd means negative or ground. The kit also came with a black wire. You want to hook that up anywhere on your car that is metal to ground out the amp. Hook that up first. You dont have to drag the wire up to your battery like you do your red one. Anywhere in your trunk that is metal is fine. And now the rem. Rem stands for remote. That hooks into your aftermarket stereo. Typically a blue wire but it will say on it. And then you get a long audio cable. White and red that also plugs into the back of your radio. That hooks into your amp as well.
