Ensure the amplifier is turned off. Connect the positive (+) terminal of the 12V wire to the amplifier's positive terminal and the negative (-) terminal of the 12V wire to the amplifier's negative terminal. Once connected securely, you can then power on the amplifier.
To wire a 12V 3-prong flasher, connect the power wire from the flasher to the battery positive terminal, the ground wire to the vehicle chassis ground, and the output wire to the turn signal switch or indicator. Ensure the wiring is secure and use proper connectors to prevent any short circuits.
To wire a Rockford Fosgate T500.2 amplifier to a 2 ohm load, you will need to connect two 4 ohm subwoofers in parallel. Each subwoofer's positive terminal should be connected to the amplifier's positive output terminal, and each subwoofer's negative terminal should be connected to the amplifier's negative output terminal. This will create a 2 ohm load for the amplifier. Be sure to verify the amplifier's minimum impedance requirements to ensure proper operation.
It is not recommended to use speaker wire for power wire for an amp. Speaker wire is not designed to handle the high current load required for powering an amplifier. It is best to use appropriate gauge power wire to ensure safety and optimal performance of your amplifier.
Using the same power from your amp to power the remote wire is not recommended. The remote wire is designed to send a low voltage signal to turn the amplifier on and off, while the power wire carries the main current needed for the amplifier's operation. If you draw power from the same source, it could lead to inadequate voltage for the remote wire, causing the amplifier to malfunction or not turn on properly. It's best to keep the power and remote wires separate for optimal performance.
The proper way to connect a second starter wire depends with the configuration used.
Connect the sub woofer to the equalizer or amplifier. The positive wire will need to be connected to a power source. Connect the ground wire. Connect the auxiliary wire to the amplifier.
Amp always on
12v switched source. such as headlight switch or dimmer on the dash.
what is meant by "car audio"? an amplifier will not turn on if it is missing either ground, 12v or 12v accessory turn on. the respective wire colors will be large red wire for 12v battery source, large black wire for -12v ground battery or chassis, thin blue wire for accessory 12v turn on. these wires can be tested for 12v with a multi-meter or a simple test light. a car radio is basically the same wire design for power up, most radios will need 12v to the yellow wire, accessory 12v for the red wire and chassis ground for the black. test these wires the same way the amplifier is tested and repair any wires not functioning correctly. if this does not help, respond with more detailed accurate assessments of problem for further advise.

To install an amplifier to an Impala head unit, first, disconnect the negative battery terminal for safety. Connect the amplifier's power wire to the car's battery, ensuring a fuse is installed close to the battery. Run the ground wire to a solid metal point on the vehicle, and connect the remote turn-on wire from the head unit to the amplifier. Finally, connect the speaker wires from the amplifier to the speakers, and reconnect the battery.
To connect an amplifier to the radio in a 1996 Chevy Astro, first, disconnect the battery to avoid any electrical issues. Then, locate the radio harness and identify the speaker wires; you can use a wiring diagram specific to your vehicle for accuracy. Connect the amplifier's power wire to the battery, the ground wire to a solid metal point, and the speaker wires from the radio to the amplifier's input. Finally, connect the amplifier's output to the vehicle's speakers and reconnect the battery.
If you are unsure of the remote wire, locate your radio fuse and get a fuse connector. hook it into the fuse and run it wherever you need it. all the remote does is swith the equipment on and off.
To hook up a Sony XM-450 amplifier, first, disconnect the battery’s negative terminal to ensure safety. Connect the power cable (usually a 4-gauge wire) to the amplifier’s power input and the other end to the car battery’s positive terminal. Attach the ground wire to a secure point on the car’s chassis and connect the remote turn-on wire from the head unit to the amplifier’s remote input. Finally, connect the speaker wires from the amplifier to the speakers and ensure all connections are secure before reconnecting the battery.
To wire the RadioShack part number 271-215 mini volume control in line from a speaker, first, disconnect the speaker from the amplifier. Connect one terminal of the volume control to the positive wire of the speaker and the other terminal to the positive wire of the amplifier. Then, connect the negative wires of the speaker and amplifier directly to each other. Ensure all connections are secure and insulated to prevent short circuits.
To wire a 12V 3-prong flasher, connect the power wire from the flasher to the battery positive terminal, the ground wire to the vehicle chassis ground, and the output wire to the turn signal switch or indicator. Ensure the wiring is secure and use proper connectors to prevent any short circuits.
Unless your vehicle has a built in amplifier or your installing an aftermarket one then you can leave it off. A remote wire will turn on an audio accessory if you have one.
