[QUOTE="HardofWhoring, post: 8855453, member: 674149"] There aren't many wires coming off the amp. There's: power in (12V Batt +, usually the big red one), power out (Ground, usually the big black one), signal in (usually RCA), signal out (speaker wire). The SWITCH/POWER BUTTON - the remote wire is going to be blue (with a white stripe). It's a very small wire, usually 16awg. Honestly if you can't tell which is which, or don't want to bother, than yeah, take it into a shop. The remote wire is going to be blue (with a white stripe). It's a very small wire, usually 16awg. You should have a fuse inline on your main power wire, take that out. You don't need to disconnect the battery to take it out, but I always disconnect from batt neg to put it back. Again the remote wire is not part of the power supply, it's just a switch button, (that is remotely controlled/turned on by the head unit, because why would your amp be on, if your head unit is not).
