You grounded the sub or the amp?
You need to run the remote wire for the HU (blue with white stripe) to the amp (Remote in).
We need to work in the descriptions here. You need tree “power” Wires to the amp. B+, Gound, and remote in. Then two wires to the sub (speaker box). Then the RCAs to the HU. DO NOT Disconnect the ground with the RCAs plugged in EVER.

Also, make sure your grounds are actually grounded. You won't believe how many problems come out of this.

yeah this problem was fixed almost as soon as i typed this , i talked with jim85iroc , well this was my first time installing an amp and sub and i didnt install the remote turn on wire . I didnt realize that i had to cut a wire and then wire the remote wire in , but after that it all worked out great . JimRULES
