may sound silly but have you checked the fuse on the power cable? (mines near the battery itself) that is if it has one

your remote wire has probably come out the back of the stereo or as said your earth is dodgy.

Remote - check it both ends
Ground - Check sonnection is tight
Power - Check fuse is ok, if it is there might be a break in the cable somewhere
RCA/Speaker wire - checck there all in
If u havnt already unscrew the sub and check connections are ok.
