Is the amp turning on? How is everything wired?

Post by **Brandon8965** » Thu Oct 15, 2009 9:27 am

the amp is not turning on.. um i have a wire from positive battery to 12v spot on amp.. then ground to chassis.. now being this is my first install regarding amps and such i have no idea what this remote wire is nor where to put it..

Remote wire connects to the blue/white wire on the back of your stereo and tells the amp to turn on. I'm gonna guess that that isn't hooked up?

ok so is that going to the back of the head unit or to the wiring harness?

it will be coming from the headunit. do you have your RCA cables hooked up as well??

you will need:1.) power wire from battery to amp2.) ground from amp to ground3.) remote wire from HU to amp4.) RCA cable from HU to amp5.) speaker wires from amp to subs

I think thats all, did I miss anything

You can add a sub to the stock bose HU. I know because that's what I have right now, sounds good for me. I have a 10" sub with a 250watt amp hooked up for the past 3 years. Will eventually get an aftermarket alpine hu just because.

Care to share how you wired it up?

Post by **asianstyle** » Sun Oct 18, 2009 2:01 pm

I bought an adapter from best buy, scosche was the brand adapter. i don't think they have it inside the store. but if you enter from the installation shop they should have one back there. the adapter has some wires that you splice into the factory speaker wires giving you rca hookups and a remote wire. works like a charm. if i get some time I'll take a picture of what it looks like.
