Check for a wiring issue, you may have something shorting out, or you may have damaged the amp removing it from the other vehicle.

A couple of things to consider. Yes, you do need to connect the positive power feed directly to the battery (via a good quality fuse connection). The ground connection must be solid, simply bolting it to a portion of the trunk (or the area you're installing the amp in) will not work. If there are no bare metal areas in the area in which you're installing the amp, consider finding a covered spot (trunk carpet or other easily used coverings) and scrape away enough paint for the connector to make firm contact with the bare metal. The remote lead should be connected to the amplifier switch lead coming from the back of your stereo (usually a labeled blue wire).
If all of those things have been done and you're still having a problem, there might be a short in the speaker wires or RCA lines. Check them carefully to make sure that they are well shielded and free of any foreign interference, such as the sharp edges under a door sill plate.
Hope that helps and good luck!

put a wire in each terminal. but the ground on the amp directly too your battery. then put both the 12+ and the remote to +. if you still get a red light, then your hosed. but the fact that you have a red light to begin with means you have power, which is good. if i had to guess, i'd say your wiring is not big enough to support your amp, and it isnt getting enough power.

"if i hook it strait to the battery."
It's supposed to be hooked to the battery.
Look for tiny wires shorting the output of the amp.
