and try it without the rca's hooked up. nismo had/has the same problem with his hifonics amp.

yup. Try it. Take the disconnect everything except the ground remote and power

I did try all that. It's not the RCAs nor the remote wire. I think it was just messed up upon arrival which sucks because now I am going to have to wait.

So you DID measure the voltage at the remote on the amp? Try disonecting EVERYTHING but the power and ground...then loop a jumper wire from the +12V to the remote wire and see if it turns on. Good luck

Maybe even get a direct connection from the battery with some foot long power and groundwires to eliminate the ground or a possible problem with the power wire

I doubt it has anything to do with the voltage because I have used other amps recently and they worked fine and didn't go into protect mode.

Sometimes its something you least expect. Id definitely check your power, ground, and remote voltage. Those are the only things that will tell you whats wrong. if they all read fine, its your amp.

Can I try a different amplifier and see if that works?

That would have been the first I would have done but yah try that.
