If you switch to Aux input, CD, satellite radio, etc… the power antenna wire will stop receiving power and your amplifier will power down as a result.

I rewired my remote and RCA connections the other day after I got my new sub and amp in. All of a sudden the remote from the HU doesn’t turn on this new amp.

If you were to connect your amplifier’s remote terminal to the power antenna wire then you would only get output from the amplifier with the radio. When you switch to CD the amplifier would not work because the head unit turns off the power antenna wire when the radio is section is not active.
