Connect the Remote( Blue thin Wire) to the back of your headunit. It connects to a wire labeled 'Remote'. From your headunit also, Plug those RCA's and run them to your amp and plug them there too.

See if the fuse blew that you have on the red (power) wire. Make the ground (black) wire as short as posible and be sure to scrape of any paint where you mount it to the car. The blue (remote) wire is what gives your car the power signal. Basicaly an on and off switch. Your radio should have an amp lead or remote lead. Don't hook it up to power antenna wire tho. Your RCA's go from the radio to the amp but run them on the opposite side you ran the power. Example if you ran the power wire from the battery to the amp on the Left side of the car run the RCA to the amp from the right side of the car.
