Check your remote wire. You will need some sort of tester. When your head unit is off the remote wire should have no power. When the Head Unit is on you should have just over 12 volts. Your battery should be grounded to some part of your car/trucks body/chassis. You should only need to connect your ground wire from the amp to some part of metal on the vehicle. But it would be safe to run your ground wire directly to the negative of your battery if you have long enough wire as well as a heavy enough piece of wire.
