i used the bolt that holds the clip thingy that holds the carpet down in the trunk as my grounding point. def put up some pix so we have more of a bearing on your setup. just copy the link from photobucket

start with the fuse in the front then the one on the amp the ground should be good cause i have mine grounded to the bolt holding that clip that holds the carpet ill bet its the remote wire i have the same problem putting my amp in last time got power but then shut off and turned out to be a loose connection of the remote wire so check that too

all fuses are good, i double checked them.
the problem with the remote wire is that its on my head unit, and i have no idea how to get the new one out lol. for that indash kit for 99 b5 a4's for aftermarket head units, is there a key for them??
or do i have to take the dash apart??
and how simple is that?? lol

Is it grounded to bare metal or painted surfaces? If they're painted, that'll easily give you the weak ground. The metal underneath the ground ideally should be sanded or at least scraped clear to give you straight contact with bare metal. If tha'ts not feasible due to location, find another bolt or mount for the ground, scuff through any coatings, down to bare metal, and reground the amp.
