Just came home and spent two hours trouble shooting and rewiring to find out that my fuse was "dead".
I had already glanced at the fuse and it wasn't burnt, so I disregarded it as the problem.

I left for work today, flipped the lighted switch I have setup for the remote, and had just enough power for both of
the amp lights and the light for my switch to light up then dim. I knew this meant that I was discharging my capacitor
meaning that I had a solid connection to the capacitor but not the battery.

Rewiring I did:
Battery post
Grounds for both amps and capacitor
Traced the power wire from capacitor to battery (So many fucking panels.)
Power and ground wires for amps (Knew it wasn't possible, but I had checked everything else.)

Finally I rechecked the fuse, and saw that there was a crack in the housing. I pulled the fuse and examined it closely,
finding no flaws in the connection. Replaced the fuse and I was good to go. I replaced the housing after finding this out,
and tucked that bad boy into the wall beside the battery real fucking good. My girlfriend jumped some guy's battery, he
did all the work. The stupid ass hole didn't tuck the fuse holder so when he put the battery cover back on it didn't go on
all the way and in turn the hood smashed down on the fuse holder.

Fuck. Everything. About. People. Touching. My. Shit.

Checking every point of the hotwire with a multimeter would have shown a voltage loss after the fuse :P
