[QUOTE="keep_hope_alive, post: 8658918, member: 576029"] you will need to turn the amp on, for sure, using the remote output from the HU (note this wire cannot power the factory amp, it can only send a low current turn-on signal). you also need to adapt the head unit outputs to the amplifier inputs - this may require changing voltage ranges. PAC audio, Metra, and USA Spec sell interfaces for this purpose if you search for your year/make/model/trim of your vehicle. Given that the factory amp appears to use a low voltage arrangement with a common shield, it is possible you can just wire the RCA outputs on the head unit directly into the factory wiring (i.e. FL +, FR +, Front Shield).
