Where to connect remote wire?

Question

where can i connect the remote wire to? as i am powering my amp from the back speakers not the head unit?

Answer 1

i dont get what your sayin but to the head unit(cdplayer),there sould be a blue(white striped) wire,but do you mean signal input?

Answer 2

What do you mean you are powering your amp from your back speakers? Do you mean, the input signal? Like a Line Out Converter? If thats the case, you need to find a circuit in the fuse box that has power only when the key is on. A good bet would be the actual radio circuit. You need to run a wire from there to the remote of the amp, this wire should be fused as close to the connection at the fuse box as possible, with a 1 amp in line fuse.

Answer 3

it depends on the amp some high end amps have switches for turn-on modes... my kicker will turn on as soon as i starts getting a signal from the input... but if you DO need a remote wire, find your fuse box and look for the wire labeled 12V+ and strip a section of it so you can connect a wire to it and run it to yoru amplifier.

Answer 4

IF ITS A AFTERMARKET HEAD UNIT THERE IS REMOTE TURN ON WIRE (BLUE /WHITE STRIPE) IF NOT AFTERMARKET YOU MUST TAP INTO ACCESSORY WIRE ON STOCK RADIO USE A TEST LIGHT AND TURN CAR ON AND OFF TO FIND TURN ON WIRE AND THAT WILL BE YOUR REMOTE TURN ON EVEN THOUGH YOU ARE USING HIGH LEVEL INPUTS FOR AMP YOU STILL NEED REMOTE TURN ON
