    Do you have the RCAs hooked up?

    REM doesn't sound like anything familiar... at least in car audio.

        Oh, the Remote lead. There is a wire coming off of the back of your deck (usually blue) that you need to hook up to the amps in the remote spot. You can run one wire to one amps remote spot and then out of the first amp over to the second amp.

            its there so your amp doesnt stay on when the ignition is off

                engine noise.

                does it increase when you step on the gas and bring the rpms up? if so you need to find a better ground for your amp.

                    Your ground is probably fine. Move your RCAs away from your power cable.

                      Your ground should NOT be going straight to the battery.

                      It should:

                      1) Be as short as possible
                      2) Be secured to a screw in the chassis
                      3) The chassis area must not have any paint between the contact surfaces.
