    Make sure that you are using the remote wire and not the power antenna wire. If, you have both.

    If you don't have both you will have to splice into a switched 12 volt line. Like the ignition wire on the radio.

    Your amplifier's remote wire is probably connected to a blue wire behind the radio. That's a power antenna output. Switch it to the blue/white wire instead.

    Your CD player probably has 2 or 3 rca inputs.

    Your amp might be hooked into the wrong inputs.

    Try changing them up.
