make sure your power wires are actually hot. Just lick the cables..

do you have a voltage meter? you need to test the power like the other people are talking about to see if you are getting power to the amp

Remote wire goes to the blue wire on your cd player. Are you telling me you connected it to your actual power wire from the battery?

excuse the language... but HOLY FUCKIN SHIT bro. Power wire from battery to remote on head unit harness! Power wire from battery should go directly to amp. Ground should go directly to amp. The blue remote wire from CD play harness should have a wire running from the blue wire on harness directly to the amp. This wire will not be long enough on harness therefore you will need one wire to extend from harness to amp. This is all assuming you have no capacitor otherwise the power wire from battery should go to that first, then the amp. If you need help, I have no problem helping, but you have to come to me in Va Beach. Id hate to see you burn a car down because of faulty wiring... PM me if you would like some help.

I think hes saying his remote wire is connected to the head unit power wire, not the amp power wire.
