the rem slot on your amp to the rem trigger on your deck (blue wire on most aftermarket desks)
Yes a remote wire is necessary. You must wire the remote wire from the amp to and ignition source of power (a component which turns on when the ignition in the car is engaged.) i.e. the radio. The remote wire signals for the amp to power on.
Hook a switch up to the remote turn on and ground. Before the wiring for the amp.
just hook it up to a wire with power when the key is turned on the same wire that turns on your stereo just change the fuse to your stereo from a 10 amp to a 15 amp
Get a multimeter and find any hot wire going to the stereo when key is on.
Why bypass amp just get wiring diagram and hook up remote"blue wire" to the remote lead from factory amp. Or unplug amp use a meter and check which wire has power. Then turn off radio and check wire again should have no power with radio off. This will only work if factory radio is still installed. But that wire would be remote wire. Just hook up new radio remote wire to the found wire. Then connect speakers to factory plugs and use the amp.
Hook your speakers up to the amp.
if you have aftermarket stereo it is very easy pull the stereo out of the dash and take your rca wires and plug them in to the back of the stereo and then take your blue wire which is remote wire and conect it to the remote wire on the back of the stereo, from there you rum the wires to your amp. ground the amp and hook up the sub to the amp and you are good to go. hope this helps.
there is usally a (blue remote wire you wire you have too hook up too turn on the factory amp)it gets hooked up too the power antenna wire.......
The deck has to be a aftermarket deck. On the wiring harness, you will see a blue wire that says rem. Hook it up there and you should be good
if you are keeping the stock stereo you have to get a rca converter(converts speaker wires to rca) and hook them up to the rear speakers. then run rca's to the amp, then run your power wire, ground, then the remote wire you will have to tap into the fuse box and find the radio fuse that turns off with your key, once you find that just tap into it and run the wire back to the amp.
Easy way to check were the problem is take a 6" piece of wire. Unhook the remote wire from your amp. Then hookup your 6" piece of wire to amp remote terminal then take other end and connect to the 12+ terminal. If amp powers up the its in the headunit. If amp does not powerup or goes into protect mode the amp is problem.
Yes, the remote wire that hooks up to the stereo tells the amp to turn on, it works like a switch. If that is hooked up properly check your ground.
