Default amp problem

I just hooked up my amp and the wires except for the ground or my remote wire which I heard that it wasn't neccesary anyway. When I pull the rca's out of the amp the light goes out, and if I put the ground wire to the metal the light goes out. Any info. or ideas would help! thanx

Lol... really should have someone else installing if you think you don't need those wires.

Eh, you don't really need air or exhaust valves when rebuilding an engine, just need fuel ports. Block those suckers off, they're unnecessary! all we need is the gas and the spark anyways .

LOGIC? You seriously want to invoke logic in a conversation about fake hijackings, missiles hitting the pentagon, and bombs planted throughout the world trade center? I thought it was a given that logic was checked at the door when entering one of these threads.

Agreed. I was going to reply to it earlier, but I couldn't quite grasp the dumbness of it.

Please call a professional. The $50 you will spend will be much cheaper than replacing the amp/headunit/RCA's/fuses/speakers/car/garage that you are about to burn to the ground. Call ANYONE here, please....
