this may sound stupid, but put a jumper between the 12 volt main power into the amp to the remote power on lead for your test. Also put a DMM on the line to see whats actually happening, and if there is any transient spikes / losses during your testing. What im interested in seeing is that you have a good remote power voltage to the amp.

When I had a remote wire problem, at higher volumes my amp would cut out.

Does it go into protection? does the power light flicker at all at higher volumes?
