blktalon96, you get a cookie!, lol
in your particual headunit you have two blue wires one only send out powr when the radio is on, and therefore is only used for the antenna. the second blue wire sends power whenever the headunit is on, and is used as the remote turn-on for the amps. switch whatever blue wire you have it hooked up to now with the other one and problem solved.
so the subs sound distorted, correct? sounds like there might be an issue with settings. make sure the levels on your headunit are up and the gains on the amp are down (well, find a good balance between the two). if you have a set of bass-only RCA outputs, make sure the level on them is up at the headunit. make sure the crossover(s) are set at low-pass, and at roughly 80-100hz (whatever sounds best to you). one more thing: on a lot of pre-fab bandpasses the front section is constructed of plexiglass, and is usually not held on very well. ive seen many MANY of these types of boxes that rattle like hell because the plexiglass is bouncing all over the place. not sure if that helps but im just throwing things out there.
BTW, your headunit ground is fine, you can leave it there.
