i got a new amp and swapped it with my old one.but the power won't turn on. When i touch the remote wire to my ground wire it turns my cd player on and off
The remote is 12v positive. You are grounding a hot wire, and the cd shuts off. Just hook the remote wire from the amp to an ignition powered fuse, and the amp will turn on when you start the car. Just be sure to hook it to the side of the fuse that has no power when the fuse is pulled, or you won't have any protection.

Hmm, yep I would start from square 1 and re run your wires. Make sure your amp kit is large enough to handle the size of your amp.
You're not turning the cd player on and off, you're shorting it out.
