So you think the Rampage deck rca output isn't working. Couple ways of checking. If your amp comes on, get a cd diskman and get an adapter fromit to rca's, that's one way of testing your rca's. Or, you can hook-up your amp through high input speaker wires.

Yeah, you can connect your remote wire to any ignition on/off power wire. All you need is a wire tester.

If you think it's just the remote turn on wire, you can take a small piece of wire and short it from the 12V+ terminal of the amp to the remote turn on of the amp. That will supply a 12V+ to the amp turn on, which is what it needs to activate. That'll at least tell you if it's the remote turn on.<p>But if the amp's light is going on, that uaully indicates that the amp is already being turned on.

So your saying that the amp is staying on regardless of your remote. If that's the case, I believe you have a bad ground. Check that, and maybe it will solve your problem.
