Question 2017 Sport Aftermarket Amp not turning on

Ok in the middle of getting my system hooked up.

What I have done ...
1.Direct power wire from the battery
2.WPT 12-12 connector with the brown wire for my remote wire, purple wire for the + and the green for - (stripped RCA to speaker wire)
3.Did the Forscan change to the ACM 727-01-01 4th number to 8


I'm having issues with the remote wire not turnning on the amp. Should I just forget the factory plug at the rear of the truck and tap into fuse #23 ??

Thanks

Thanks

and for your signal to the amp you used RCA from purple and green wires from the WPT1212 harness?

Thanks again!

that remote wire from the harness doesn't supply enough volts for a remote turn on.. you have to go to the fuse box

Post got amp on now but no signal to subs

Ok i've got the amp turning on now.

But I do not have any sound/signal going to my subs. I've used the WPT1212 wire harness and wired in RCA's to the + and - leads off the harness at the rear of the truck. I've turned on the forscan option but still no signal.

Do I need to do a lineout converter? If so where should I hook it up at? Plus what brand should i be looking at if they are any different.

Thanks!

yes my truck does have satellite radio. What's the scoop on the FOR11-CK harness. Should I just run a LOC ?
