Ok I got my Amp and Amp kit (wires)

I hooked up the Ground to the amp to the body of the car making sure there was a connection.

Then I did the fuse to the battery, then connected the 12V to the amp from the battery.

Connected the RCAS etc.

Well anyways the amp is not working. The light is not on or nothing.

I have a bulb tester and tested to see if it was hot and it is.

But no light is on nor it wont work.

Also I have a Pioneer Premier Deck, Model DEH P680MP

Where do I Hook up the RCAs?

The AMP is a 2 CH 100 Kicker.

I am hooking up 4 speakers to it for the moment.

Thanks CLH

Remote wire? You need one to turn on the amp it is connected to the back of the headunit then ran to the amp.

there will be a remote wire or an antenne wire you hook it up from that (behind the head unit) to the amplifier remote hole

I know what one you are talking about but, what wire to I connect that to?

 

[jeeper07 5,000+ posts]

you should have recieved a very skinny wire with your wiring package, you need to connect that wire from behind the radio to your amp

 

[Flashardy 10+ year member]

skinny wire with 4 wires on it?

2 red and 2 blacks?

no no...

All decks come with a wiring harness... Wiring harness has all the wires for all your speakers, power, illumination, etc... One of the wires on the wiring harness is solid blue, and most have a tag on it that says "remote turn on". You need to connect thise wire to your amp. On your amp, there should be three inserts: 1.) power 2.) ground, and the third one is: Remote turn on...

Thanks Guys for all your HELP!

Jeeper07 When you said skinny wire, I was thinking and thinking. When I 1st opened the Pack...I thought it was a Speaker wire. Well I guess it was not.

So I spent the last 1hr hooking that up and putting the final touches on it.

It works really nice for 60bucks.

Well I look forward for more help in the future!

Thanks Again for all the help.
