still wont start!!

ok, i just put in a new starter because i thought thats what my problem was, but i guess it wasnt, i checked all the wiring going to the starter, but i cant find anything that looks bad. i dont know what it could be anymore, if someone could give me some suggestions it would be much appreciated. oh yeah and what it does is i will try to start it and it just clicks. it is the starter that clicks, but it wont crank. i dont know what to check anymore. so please help!!

Power is going to the solenoid but not the starter motor itself, or the starter motor would spin and you'd hear it trying to turn the flywheel (solenoid engaging the gear) or hear it whine with NO click (solenoid not engaging, gear free-spinning).

Check the bigass wires that flow from the battery to the relay and from the relay to the starter motor, and check the ground wire. In addition, check the relay and ignition switch.
