Y can`t i get remote wire to work

[lovethebass]

Ok I hook my speakers up and rca to radio and all 3 amps i have 2 alpine one kenwood all 3 300 watts. Ok i look on the back of my radio and it say blue and white wire is remote so i try to connect remote wire to amp and nothing happens. Then my dad whats messing with it and he hook up ground wire and was messing with remote wire when my radio shut off and won`t turn on. I have no clue what happen or how to fix. Everything else is hook up accept batt wire and remote and my ground wires for amps. If anybody could help plz feel free to tell me i am a screw i will understand lol.

1 other thing do i have to hook my speakers up to my radio and amp or just amp???

You should check your amp ground...I had the same problem with a bad ground, and fixed that and it worked smooth as anything. You hook the speakers to the amp only.

try hooking up the remote wire to just one amp and see if it works, some times the remote wire doesnt have enough juice to turn on 3 amps, then youll need a relay.

I have a relay switch on it i guess it is a black box small it has my ground and power and remote wire hook to it and another one But how do i get the remote wireto the amp if it is hook to the radio can i just use copper wire or something and wrap it around the remote wire where it connects to the relay switch then to my amps?

uhh...if your radio's not working did you check the fuse on the radio/amp/ in-line (under hood)/and fuse box ?? also, check all your grounds and get rid of the relay for now until you can trace the problem. Check the "blue & white" wire you think is the turn on from the back of the radio and make sure it actually is and not the power antena wire. Also...if it's a Nissan or a Chrysler make sure the radio ground is actually grounded to the chassis. If your radio has a reset button, push it. If all else fails check all the speakers going to the head unit to make sure they are not grounding out on metal in your door or trunk. Trial and error is the only way you're going to get to the bottom of this one.
Hope this helps...

one thing you can check is to see your have a wire for the power antenna and a turn on lead from the back of your radio.

the first time i hooked up my amp i accidently hooked the turn wire to the power antenna wire cause both were blue.
if your radio isn't working then you should probably figure out how to get that working and then go one problem at a time. you can't turn on ur amps with out turning on your radio.
