Sounds like your amp remote wire is hooked up wrong. Disconnect the thin blue wire from your amp and run a jumper wire from anything that's normally 12VDC powered to the remote terminal on your amp. If your amp works without the lights being on then you know that's your problem (Radio must be on when testing). It's pretty common for remote wires to get hooked up wrong.
