[QUOTE="helotaxi, post: 392018, member: 550915"] If you are running an aftermarket head unit it should have a turn on lead for that exact purpose. It will usually be a blue wire with a white stripe. There might be a blue wire as well. That is usually for a power antenna and only works when the tuner section is being used on the HU. Many times if there is only one output it is a constant out put for whenever the HU is on that is used for amps and antenna. If you have a factory HU and don't have a power antenna or the capability for one then you are likely stuck. You can wire a switch into the lead and manually turn the amp(s) on and off but that's about it without spending a decent amount of cash for a linelevel convertor with a signal sensor and remote output.
