Before stressing about which RCAs are correct, I'd check your remote wire. Questions:

- When you turn on the stereo, does LED light up on the amp?

- Where did you pull the BAT+ (IGN+) from?

- Is there any place that could pinch that wire?

Troubleshooting - If you have an MP3 player and a 3.5mm --> RCA adapter and the amp is turning on correctly, plug in the RCAs connected to the MP3 player (with the volume all the way down). Turn up the volume and see if you get any output. If the amp is turning on, but the outputs aren't... you probably should invest in a new amp. If the amp doesn't turn on, you should redo the remote wire connections.
