There will be a wire on the back of your head unit that turns the amp on. It will be marked something like "rem" "remote" or "amp." If not, consult your head unit manual.
The ampacity or amp rating of all wire is rated by the size of the wire. NM (non-metallic sheathing) wire is no different. In household wiring 14 gauge wire must go on a 15 amp breaker/ 12 gauge goes on a 20 A and 10 gauge goes on a 30 Amp.
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.
This is a 30 amp 125 volt device. The black wire goes on the smallest pin, should be a brass coloured screw, the white on the next in size, should be a silver coloured screw and the ground wire on the pin with the inward hook on it, green coloured screw.
If you have 100 amp wire, you can use it for a 60 amp circuit, or for any circuit of 100 amps or less. But if you have a 60 amp circuit, 60 amp wire is thinner and cheaper than 100 amp wire.
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?
The rem (remote) wire on a car amplifier typically carries a voltage of around 12 volts. This wire is used to turn the amplifier on and off, sending a signal from the head unit (stereo) to activate the amp when the car is turned on. When the ignition is in the "on" or "accessory" position, the rem wire should receive a voltage close to the battery voltage, usually around 12-14 volts.
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.

'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.
