I tried installing my amp connecting it to my pioneer DEH 8MP deck. I connected the remote wire and the RCA cable to the amp. Everything is connected properly, the amp has power but there is no sound. Please help.

You need to get a small handheld amp. Radio Shack makes one that works on a 9v battery it has one input and output, and its own volume control cost about $12 but a very good investment. You need this to check for input signal at your amp. Just unplug the RCAs from the amp in the car and turn on the headunit and test the RCAs for audio signal. You can swap the amp for another one if you have one laying arround. You can also remove the amp and have it tested at your local shop but if the amp is good that means you just have a problem some where else. One more thing, just because the power light comes on dont mean you have the required power you could have a bad battery connection but good ground and remote and on some amps the power light just comes on with the turn-on wire. Good Luck!

How are the speakers connected? Did you connect the RCAs to the Line-IN?
Does this power coaxials? Have you tried using the speaker outputs from the molex connector?
