9 times out of 10, system problems are caused by either bad grounds or bad fuses. check both.

I dont know if the guage of the speaker wire is too thick.......

I ground mine to the frame (when the amp is in the trunk anyway)

Read the manual for wire description.... i dont know them off the top of my head...

I got one of those amps myself. Only one needs to be hooked up. You just need the one with your rmt wire next to it. And like everybody else said, it's probably where you got your wire grounded. if it has body paint on the metal up under the screw you got it grounded to, then you need to scrape the paint off under the screw with a screw driver or something.

You can use any wire for the remote so that isnt the problem. Change the grounding point to another. Make sure your 12+ wire is the same gauge as the -Grd Wire.

If you can figure out that you are getting power from the wires and the amp doesnt turn on, the amp may be busted. Do you have an amp kit? Maybe you have a blown inline fuse.

there should be a wire specifically for remote. if not, use the wire for the power antenna.
