So the red and yellow are together to the battery ..and the grounds to the battery ..and each speaker to the Bluetooth amp ?

I’m not sure what the orange wire is on the amp ?

Orange wire is for backlight on the Bluetooth panel which is mounted on the outside of the cooler.

Yes and yes but no speakers on this set up. Also Bluetooth amp is the main amp

Looking at the diagram on each amp the rca from Bluetooth main amp goes direct to sub amp ..that’s the only rca connections....the two yellows to battery pos and two hands to battery neg then blue remote wires together..then the two reds from amp and orange wire from main amp to a 12v switch ..can be temporarily hooked to battery ..then hook up highs speakers and subs

Exactly! That was my original set up. However same thing happened. Amps powered on for a sec and went off.

It sounds like everything is wired right ...

FYI on this set up I have the 12v ignition not connected to anything. That's where I'm confused. Should that be connected to something?

Since you don’t have an ignition connect it to the battery ..for testing but it will need to be a toggle switch put in to turn it on and off ..it can be a small remote size wire because the ignition wires only activate internal relays

I'll get a switch then. I'll follow your instructions and will come back to let you know the results. Thanks!

Just to be clear because I'm confused by something you said...you do have the remote wire hooked up to the amp you're testing right?

Blue remote wire wasn't connected when testing as it was connected to sub amp when I had system wired up . I only set up Bluetooth amp for testing so blue remote wire wasn't connected to anything.

The remote wire is what turns the amp on. If you tie that in with your power wire the amp should turn on.
