Help with Remote Wire

[Biohazard 10+ year member]

OK, i seem to be in a rut,

When i connect the remote wire to my amp the speakers cut out, i have no idea why, everything is fine from what i recollect.

I connected the remote wire to the blue wire out of the h/u, then ran it right back, i tried 2 different wires and everything...

any ideas why the speakers cut out? and the amp doesn't turn on at all either.

your subs or speakers cut out?

Your remote wire is what makes your amp turn on and power speakers. If your remote wire is actually crapping out, your amp and the amp powered speakers will turn off. If it seems like an intermittant problem, I'd suggest redoing the remote wire connections, then replacing the (possibly compromised by a nicked cover/insulation) remote wire, then start swapping actual equipment (HU, then amp).
