How can i hook up my amp to my factory stereo. like the remote wire and rca cables.?

Answer 1

Does your factory stereo have RCA outputs? I doubt it. You can split your rear speaker wire and send that as in input to your amp, but I wouldn't recommend it. Also, I doubt your stock stereo has a remote hookup, so you have a couple of options.

1) Splice the remote wire from amp into some other 12 volt supply that only turns on when the key is on, like the cigarette adapter in some cars;

2) Run the remote wire directly to the battery, but add an inline fuse (to avoid fire) and a switch somewhere inside for you to manually turn it on and off... but don't forget to turn it off!

Answer 2

Need to get a high level converter such as a PAC-SNI35.  With this you will tap into your rear speakers to allow signal (or sound) to go to the sni 35.  On the otherside of the sni 35 will be rca connections to go to the amp. You remote wire ? I usually find a fuse in the fuse pannel that will only have power when the key is on such as the radio fuse, cig lighter etc......Just be sure to put a 2 amp fuse on the blue remote wire just after you connect it to the fuse pannel.   Safety first
