why would you need a power cap for when the car is parked up?

 

[puntodaz69]

A power cap is useless in this situation, my guess is either the remote cable (blue) isn't connected properly so the amp is always on or the headunit isn't connected to switch off with the ignition, so is always sending a live signal down the remote cable.

When you switch off the ignition (with the amp wired up ofc) are there still lights on the amp?
Also, when you switch off ignition, are you still able to use your stereo?

I agree with Eklipze3k, most people fit aftermatket headunits to their Fiats by wiring the unit to be always on, this means the amp will get constant power on signal from your headunit...
If you own a Grande Punto you can look on my webpage for a simple guide to proper ACC signal.
It's www.mcfrede.dk look to the menu on the left...

The amp wont ever always be on because you can switch the head unit off using the power button. Not having it wired to the ignition just means that it go's into standby mode on power off.
It sounds like the OP has accidently wired the remote to a permanant live. The remote is the blue wire that doesnt actually go anywhere at one end.
