hey, im trying to install an old rockford fosgate amplifier in my 92 honda accord, the model is a RF 4600x series 1 and i believe it is a 400 watt amp. i know very little about installation. well i hooked up all the proper wires according to my installation kit and the little red light on the end of the amp lights up when i connect the power wire to the battery but when i connect the speaker wires to L- and L+ screws or inputs on the opposite ends nothing happens. i also did not find a place to attach the remote turn on wire. im really lost, any help would be greatly appreciated

When you say you can’t find a place to connect the remote wire do you mean on the amp or on the back of the head unit (radio)? Also do you have a stock or after market head unit? Here is a link to the installation manual for your amp explains how to hook it up if you don’t understand something or have a question don’t hesitate to ask. http://streetsound.ty.nu/man/Manualer/Slutsteg/2300_2600x_4600x.pdf

You can connect the remote wire to your yellow/white wire behind the head unit. Or use your 12volts switched which is yellow/red.

Where are you getting your power for the remote wire that you connect to the AP on your amp? Also do you have a voltage meter?

Are you talking about the blue (remote) wire that comes out of the back of the head unit or some blue wire you’re connecting to in the cars wiring harness? If you give me your email address I will send you my phone #

ok, i have the amp all hooked up and the remote turn on wire is coming from the car's wiring harness, not the head unit and the red light is on so im getting power, the rca cables are all hooked up but now when i turn on my cd player the cd starts playing but no sound comes out of any of the speakers, my cd player is a jensen CD3010x receiver
