    Remote wire must not be connected properly/or to the right source. Should be connected to the blue REM wire on back of headunit, you might want to test it with a test light/multimeter first to see if it works, otherwise you can connect to any accessories source (such as cig lighter) as a temp fix.
    Power is measured in DECIBEL

    As said above: Remote wire.
    Check the headunit doesn't have 2 dark blue wires. If it does, one wire should have a white trace, this is for the power anntenna. Or if it's a Pioneer headunit, try using a relay.

    Also, if you use the ciggy lighter trick, and it's still not working, remote trigger INSIDE the amp is busted.

    well it wont be that as when you jump it from the power wire its working so it cant be that, you could also put a switch in,

    straight power to switch with inline fuse and from the switch to remote on amp, just flick the switch on when you want the amp to run and flick it off when you dont!
