LOL if your HU won't accept remote wire then you need a new one that does.

He could run it to the fuse box...

Or you wake up to someone backing into the front of your car and driving away and now your stuck paying 500 to get it fixed for something you didnt even do to it.... thats how my day went today. Id much rather have my amp not turn on because i didnt have the remote wire connected.

PS: I hate when that happens, thats why when i buy socks i buy a whole bunch of the same kind so it give me better odds...

I'm just saying, that's a dumb thing to say "everything has gone wrong" about, when it's your own fault. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/rolleyes.gif.c1fef805e9d1464d377451cd5bc18bfb.gif

PS: It's worse when you don't have full coverage insurance that will cover it for the cost of a deductible, and instead have to pay for it out of pocket. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crap.gif.7f4dd41e3e9b23fbd170a1ee6f65cecc.gif

Who cares just gtfo and quit trying to troll. Used it as a phrase of frustration of dealing with this stupid thing. Dont even see why you bothered posting...OK YOU GOT SOME ATTENTION NOW GO AWAY.

If the deck has RCA outputs it has I have a remote wire. Try the blue and white one, that's typically the color of the remote wire.

I will say it again...that is the antenna/motor wire. You know...the thing that makes the antenna go up and down. WELL it would go up and down if the retarded previous owner didnt snap it off.

LOL if your HU won't accept remote wire then you need a new one that does.

Well thats really helpful now aint it?

where are you at in ky

SE...not in crestwood or near...used to live their though.

We need pics of the install also

Why would that help? Its just an amp, subs, a battery, and some wire ran from one end of the car to the other. I explained it pretty **** good...dont know how pics would fix anything. Sorry for the smartassness but but that ly4f dude has done went and got me all pissed off lol.

 

[Lonnie 10+ year member]

Ok just thought of it...but what gauge wire does the remote wire need? I will just run a **** toggle switch..even though the HU has the option of turning subs on and off according to the manual...even though the manual is also for 5 other HUs...**** lazy people...not able to make specific manuals for specific players.

 

[Goindef154 5,000+ posts]

What's the deck model number exactly? Feel free to yell at me if you mentioned it earlier. And wire size doesn't really matter could be 12-22 gauge wire.

 

[Goindef154 5,000+ posts]

It has tto have a remote wire if it had rca outputs and it has a sub on/off switch, atleast I would expect it to. Have you tried hooking up the remote wire to the other wires despite what they're labeled?

 

[Chris Z 10+ year member]

You say your power antenna isn't working anyway, so what's the problem with using that wire? That wire merely raises the antenna when the head unit is powered on, so if you hook that up to your remote terminal on your amp, it will be turned on when the head unit is powered on. Still have any questions? The remote wire doesn't need to be big at all, and if you purchased an amp kit, it would include a large run of remote wire. 18, 20, 22 gauge should be fine for this, it's simply a "turn on" run, there's not much power being run through it.

jump the remote wire off the 12v on the amp to see if the amp is good.

I DID help. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/fyi.gif.9f1f679348da7204ce960cfc74bca8e0.gif If your HU doesn't have a remote wire, you can run the remote for the amp to the dash fuse for the radio, or whatever.

It works good enough to pick up some local channels...getting a new antenna soon or later. Couldnt I splice into the the antenna wire and have it power both the antenna and the remote wire? Also so I just run a single wire without grounding it for the remote wire? Btw I didnt get an amp kit...you cant buy a 4 gauge amp kit anywhere around where I live...no ones really into audio enough to be running decent systems...most systems are sony, dual, and legacy. Sony+dual cause thats the main 2 walmart sells...and an audio shop in the flea market sells legacy stuff.

Also so I just run a single wire without grounding it for the remote wire? OR maybe splice into the antenna motor itsself which means I dont have to run a wire from the radio to the trunk.

WELL their is another audio shop that sells several things...and one thats about 15-20 miles away that sells even more crap than the shop in town...most of the people that actually gets subs and crap usually gets their parents to buy it...so yea surprised the audio shops can stay open.

Doesnt work...talked to dad about it and he was so confident it was the blue wire...so he ran the wire and stuff and HAH didnt work. The blue wire has no power going through it or some crap like that. Anyways I split into the antenna motor power wire and ran it to the amp with a toggle switch in the front seat. Ty for the help yall...wouldnt have thought about the radio wire thing if I didnt post.

Problem you may see by using the antenna wire is that it may shut the amp off when you play a CD/MP3, some radios turn off power to that wire when not using the radio tuner to bring the antenna down cause your not using it. You dont really need the toggle switch, just tap the remote wire into the red (switched) wire for the headunit, then your amp will turn on/off with the key.
