well the yellow wire is essential for the memory backup. without that wire hooked up, some cd/tape players will not even work. but that wire controls the momory, so that when you shut off your car and turn it back on again, it remembers the time, preset stations, bass, treble, etc.
why your subs/amps/what-not are not working is beyond me. i would have to take a look at it myself.

hope that helped

yeah, I disconnected that wire, and it wouldnt even work, well, do you know of any way to clear the memory? b/c I took my car to the shop, and tested out everything, and every thing works.....and i get power, ground, and remote, and even switched to new RCA's....they said it was my deck, but it's not, b/c I switched decks with my cousin (who also has a system) and his works fine...when we switched decks we unplugged an kept the deck's harness's there,b/c we have the same decks.. thanks.

maybe he has a security code on it that you have to punch in before it'll work. If not, I think there should be a reset button behind the headunit, at least I tihnk mine does.

the only other thing i can think of without being there myself is a fuse in the back of the deck or alot of decks have the reset switch on the front panel under the removeable face. did you check your amp fuse in the engine bay? maybe you blew that fuse after the amp was connected ++?
hope that helps

I actually read somewhere else where a guy had a problem with a Kamelion. like the wires were different on the harness.

I think it was that the harness didn't have a yellow wire, or it was something that the headunit harness didn't even match up wire to wire with the stock harness.
