Excuse my awesome paint skills, but I'm pretty sure this explains all of it.

Everything looks right except one thing. You need a jumper for the negative power between the battery and the computer psu, otherwise the remote won't turn the amp on.

WTF?!? Ive always thought it was the other way around. I guess you learn something new everyday haha

OP, that'd how I'd wire it. I'm a little confused as to why you didn't run the headunit off of the battery. You'd be giving the headunit 12 volts at the highest.

nice work...

but this is an amazing way to blow all your shit... computer supplys are not meant to take that much stress. if its like a 100 watt amp and a headunit your okay but anything over 1,000 is just ridiculous.

i used to do this and use multiple 600 watt supplys and i just said fuck it. amp was seeing way to low of voltage and went into protect anytime i had the volume over 5...

battery charger and batt for the amp... you got your shit down. goodnight :lol:
