it would indicate that the amp is wired correctly as your getting it to run. try having the HU playing a cd and get a multimeter to test that your getting a 12v feed through the remote at the amp. if your not then i would suggest that the HU is shot.

Does the amp actually turn off? Or does the RCA output from the HU just drop right down?

Alright matey

Just out of interest can a low rca output from a HU be solved? i've never encountered it.

Don't think that i've ever had a setting for the rca output on any of my HU's. I'll remember that for the future
