Kicker Key Amp No Sound

[MWARD1733]

I have a 2024 Heritage with the non BO stereo. A month ago I added a 500.1 key amp and a 12 inch sub mounted on the tailgate and love it. Over the weekend I added a 200.4 kicker key amp to power everything else. I wired it up and see the power light but there is no sound at all. Absolutely 0. I am trying to figure out all the settings but I assumed it would at least make noise. I am using the same remote, same ground and powering it from the battery. 4 gauge into a block and 2 8 gauge coming out. This pic is the set up and I took it before I wired the blue remote wire so now it’s wired on where the other amp is connected. I did mess with setting me using a forescan tool but it was the normal changes that people do with aftermarket speakers. Any help would be appreciated

The main amp usually won't use a remote turn on, Kickers usually use speaker detection / auto to turn on. There is no "remote turn on" from the regular amp - but if you needed one you could pick up one from an add-a-tap in the fuse panel.

Also, I see the wire where you brought your inputs back there - those are speaker level, so if you pick a set and temporarily wire them to a speaker, you should get sound - make sure those are working from your pigtail up front.

Yeah I was seeing that the remote may not be needed but was told you could use one and it wouldn’t hurt anything. I’m using the remote wire from the factory amp. I used it on the sub amp. I’m also using a PAC LPHFD31 T harness that was plug and play for the other amp. So my high level to and from the amp plug right into the head unit. I can run the radio all day until I plug in that amp. Then it’s silent. I figured it was a setting or something simple

The head unit doesn’t have one, or at least the wire marked as such isn’t hooked to anything

The sub amp harness has one, but it’s low voltage and some amps it won’t turn on for
