so i got new tires on my car. the car guy threw one of my tires in the back of the trunk and my system stopped working. I thought maybe one of the wires got hooked loose so i went in the back and made sure they were all fine. my remote wire is wired to my head unit but it doesn't signal my amp to turn on. ive tried running the remote wire from the amp to cig lighter and fuse box, but still nothing. ive ran the wire to the positive wire and still nothing. the ONLY way i can get the amp to turn on is if i have the remote wire ran from the amp to the head unit/ciglighter/orfusebox AND have a wire from remote to power.. i dont get it. any help would be much appreciated

If you're going to connect the remote wire to the power wire, then there's no need for headunit/sig/fusebox. From your description, it appears the remote wire is cut somewhere. Use a DMM and find out if it's 100% cut. It's not a hard problem to fix. Just need to spend some time diagnosing the issue at hand.
