Are you sure that is the right remote wire? i think that would be the only one i would question at this time. Is the AMP good? was it used or brand new?

Ya definately check the remote turn-on wire.
Also what does the red light mean? Does the manual for the amp give you any indication of what it means? Sometimes they'll blink in different patterns and such for different problems.

good amp I tested it and it works , its gotta either be the Loc installed to the wrong wires , loc not working , or bad rca cables

Sounds internal or, how is the amp getting the audio signal, if you are usings rca's check the input voltage. If not using RCA's and the factory line level outputs there could be a wiring issue, let me know.

Theres rca for the audio signal to the amp but its wired to my stock deck with a loc . The volts at the power is fine is there a way to check with the multimeter if the rca is putting audio to the amplifier.

What kinda deck you have.
Does it have Pre-outs.
It sounds like the amp is staying in protect mode. Could even be the connection in your sub box. If your shorting out in there it would cause it.
Check your Actual sub wires

you have to start eliminating things. If you disconnect everything from the amp except power, does it power up fine. If so you something outside the amp may be a problem
If it does power up fine add the speaker box. No input. This is a way to check the box
Now if that is ok add the input signal, if it then goes down, there is an issue with the input if not, reply and we try some other things

seems like an issue with positive , remote and ground but I checkw ith multi and im getting 12.09 volts at positive and 12.09 volts from remote when I turn the key so I dont understand it and I check the multimeter with the ground so it must be good .
I hooked the amp up i nthe house to a old deck and a power box before putting it i nthe car and it worked so ...
maybe theres something with postive and remote im not sure
got the power hooked direct to battery with a fuse which is sending power ..
Got the ground bolted under the seatbelt anchor
Got the remote tapped into the Yellow/green ignition wire for the stereo

Whats the impedance of your subs? And what configuration do you have them wired? If you've got less than 4ohms that might be whats causing your problem not to mention a 4 x 100W amp seems a lil undersized to power 2 subs.
Generally you can use a 2 channel amp bridged to run 2 subs but i've never heard of a 4 channel amp being used. There might be a reason to that and that might be whats causing your problem.

Well yesterday when I started the car I heard the amp turn on so I went to the trunk like a child in a candy store but the rca were unhooked once I plugged them in bam back to red so its got to be the line out convertor hooked up wrong

Ya no doubt it's the RCA's or the LOC if having them unplugged fixed the problem.
