Punch 160.4 Amp wont Power unless REM cable is touching Amp casing.

I wired a Punch 160.4 into my car and have the REM running off my Pioneer DEH-1550 Rem Accessories connection and have a seperate power cable to the B+ on the amp as well as a good earth but the only way i can get the amp to power up is if the REM connnector is bent down & touching the external metal case of the amp. I know its wired correctly. Can anyone tell me if this is safe or if it means i have a lose connection inside the amp.

open your amp up and see if anything's come loose inside.

Never mind found the problem but thanks anyway. Turned out the cb was double sided and i had re soldered one side but not the other.
