check your positive supplies, remote positive and your direct positive.

In Car Amplifiers have 3 main power wires:
Live +12v (Fused wire direct from the + side of the cars battery)

Ground (Direct to car earthing point (anywhere cleaned of paint for good connection)(I tend to use boot lock)

Remote (This wire should be connected with the switched live wire coming from the back of the stereo, this is Only live when the cars ignition is on)(there should be 2 power wires coming from the stereo usually red live +12v and yellow switched live, depending on the cars original wiring, try moving the remote wire from where you have it, to the other live wire

Hope this is of some help

Most amps do a "power up" where all the lights can come on, then settle into "green light" or some sort of "ready status" light comes on. The red or yellow lights can indicate "protection mode" (a bad amp) and green is the universal signal for okay. - So try this - Double check your connections and the amp. Pay close attention to the settings on the amp before you declare it not working. I have had many amps (especially newer ones) cause problems from a simple switch that was in the wrong position. Be sure to use good power and audio cables matched to your amps capabilities with good strong grounds on a clean non-painted metal surface. If all is in order from there start checking your signal from the deck to the amp. You can also check manufactures website for the manual, (if you didn't get one) looking at it may give a clue about proper switch configurations and hook-ups. Let me know if you need additional info concerning these idea's.

how are your rca ups comming from your deck or did u splice and ad to factory?
