Yzark,

I grounded the sub/amp to the same bolt in the trunk that the negative side of the batter runs toward. It's the bolt toward the back of the car. I can't find any other bolts in the trunk other than the ones holding the battery in.
Yes, I am using the signal from the drivers side rear speaker to tell the amp to turn on "Audio" setting on amp. I originally had a T Tap on it, but through troubleshooting decided to just splice them together. Followed the - + diagram in the instructions.

I even tried running a 8G wire direct from the battery instead of the wire with the 60amp fuse, just in case there was an issue with the fuse and or fuse holder. It didn't make any difference. Also tried waking amp up using REM setting and jumping a wire from the middle plug terminal to the battery, per Crutchfield rep. Still nothing.

Any ideas? The new sub/amp comes Wed.
