sounds like one of the power cables are dodgy if you swapped them over and its not working on the other amp, Try changing the 8awg cable for another 4awg cable and see if that works?

It sounds like maybe the amp could be faulty mate, have you checked all wiring? RCA lead, remote lead, Earth lead are these all connected properly?
But if these are fine then the amp could be faulty then mate
EDIT: Try a different Amp mate and see if that works
