Is the remote connected directly to the battery or HU?

dont want to hijack your thread but instead of running it straight to the amp could you just daisychain it from the power connection off the amp itself

daisychain????? w/e that means NO

what the hell does that mean

it means to run a small jumper out of the +12v and into the remote of the amp.

I imagine that would defeat his purpose of having a switch, then he would still have to run the wire into the cabin.

Check your remote turn on for 12V, also check your power and especially your ground.
