well, when I connect the voltmeter to the power and ground terminals, I've got power... when I connect the remote and ground, I've got nothing... so that's my problem, right? The remote isn't hooked up correctly.

I do have a question though (everyone)... as my amp isn't powering up. I'm fairly certain I've hooked everything up correctly... I checked after the fuse with the car and radio on and I show voltage on the power cable at the amp, but no voltage when I check the remote wire -- I'm assuming this is the problem. What kind of voltage should I be seeing on the remote terminal at the amp? I connected it to the blue power antannae (blue with a non factory wiring harness) wire at the head unit... I imaging that should work... but the amp's not turning on at all.
If it's not the remote, could it be the ground also? I found a bold that I figured would ground it out, but I could be wrong. I hooked everything up afterwork... so, mostly by flashlight.

As for connection on the back of your HU, it should be connected to remote or ACC+. If you have it on the power antenna, it will only come on with the radio, not CD's or anything else.
You should see ~12V on the remote wire when testing across that and your ground.
Give me a call if you need any other help

I popped the head unit out today and was like 'duh'. I blame it on the fact that I was working by flash light last night.
I plugged the remote into the remote wire coming from the car, not the head unit. A quick switcheroo and everything's dandy. Thanks for the help.
