Hi, complete noob when it comes to car audio...

I received an amp, subs, and a wiring kit from a friend.

I installed it all just fine with no remote wire. The amplifier turns on and stays on.

No remote wire = amp always on

Of course, my battery died one morning before work...

I am trying to connect a remote wire from the REM connector on the amplifier to a fuse (I'm using the radio fuse)

My problem is that when I do this:

Car is on = AMP OFF
Car is off = AMP ON
Car is on, remote wire disconnected AMP = ON

What's going on here? Any help would be appreciated. It seems to be backward! Also, why is my amp on with no remote wire?

I apologize for the double post; however, this is my amp.

What are your connections to the amp.
