Your remote wire is hooked up to a constant power source.

like blados said your remote is hooked up to a constant wire. You want a accessory wire. Where is the source wire at...what color

Well i have a remote wire that is blue and it is not hooked up to a constant power wire and what is a accesory wire. When i get the amp turned on it just beats like when it first turns on but its doing it non stop

say what? does it play normaly when the deck is flowing into it?

wait you're saying like a constant tone? check your remote turn on at the amp with a multi meter or test light. accessory wire will be the red wire on the radios wire harness unless youre running the subs and amp off the factory system then in that case what kind of vehicle is it?

hes getting some noise from somewhere...reguardless of the amp power does your rca's run with your power cable?

Orange or red dep on vehicle is constant + means always on

The other of those 2 above colors is the switched meaning on the ignition only power.

Blue (on 99.9% of equipment) is remote meaning switched power from the head unit to the amp to turn it on and off when power is on the head unit. This is a LOWER amp fuse and should NOT be connected to either of the other power wires. It goes to the amp current sense input on your amp(s) sometimes called remote.
