[QUOTE="JaY1_322, post: 44905, member: 543555"] Hey man thanks for the reply. No I have not yet conquered the problem, mostly because I had to go to work. Today I did buy a few accessories to help me figure it all out. Firstly a voltage meter. I dont think the amp is coming on at all. So, I'll have to start buy changing the ground. Actually there are two grounds on this amp, one at the input area, and one at the output area. This is my first install, so if I sound like an idiot, please correct me. My ground is connected to the one at the input side (the other side is just a screw in ground), since its not wired to another amp, and I'm not using the speaker level out. The other side has the batt, then ground, the RCAS and the speaker connection. After I switch the ground again, I'll screw with the remote wire location, it was first connected to the remote wire connection on the head units factory harness, but I also tried the power ant cable (I did also use a harness for the hook up).
