constant 12v to batt (use large gauge wire for this/fused).
remote turn on from head unit (if turning on more than 1 amp a relay is good to use).
rca's (self explanatory).
speaker leads (self explanatory).
ground (to a good exposed metal surface of the body).

if that doesn't work you've got a bad amp or doing it wrong.

You best bet is to take a self tapping sheet metal screw and find you a spot that isn't going to intrude on anything else and tap your ground into the body somewhere that way you have a good solid ground connection if that doesn't work reply here and I will see if I can help you further. Also check your fuses make sure none are blown.
