u named a list of things to check and i checked everything... alittle research i did..

WARNING:
When making any connections in your audio system, remove all power from the system. One reason (there are others) is that the shield of the RCA connectors is connected to chassis ground in at least one audio component (almost always grounded in the head unit). If, at any time, the shield is allowed to come in contact with any power source, the component with the grounded shield connection will be instantly (INSTANTLY) INSTANTLY damaged (Oh, did I say instantly damaged?). This is one of the most common causes of loud engine noise and it is VERY common.

so what do i do to rectify.. i know the rca wires are ok.. tried 2 sets ... i redid everything... the only thing i didn't change or touch is that REM wire that's in by the battery wire and ground....???

well I made the mistake of assuming you'd disconnected the battery terminal when connecting the amplifiers. heh I get used to doing things the right way and I forget how many ways you can actually mess something up.

if your RCA grounded out to a power source, you've fried the pre-out portion of your head unit most likely.
I've seen this happen before quite a bit.
solution is RMA or replace the head unit

suck options, but that's it
