Look here:

for some ideas.

My thought is that you don't have the remote wire from the head unit or ignition switch connected to the remote turn on of the amplifier.

The amp needs two 12v connections; one comes through a fuse from the battery and is for high current operation of the amplifier.  The other comes from the ignition or radio unit which turns the amplifier ON.

See if that is the solution.
