Ok so I hooked up ny new kenwood and u had to hook the 12v constant to the ignition 12v or else it wouldn't even turn on I have to manually turn the hu off. Will I have to dissconect my amp also when I hook it up
ive had this problem before as well i actually had the same hu but yes i always had to disconnect the amp which got tiring after a while so i bought a new hu
Ok so I hooked the 12v constants to the 12v ignition on the back of the hu but not the car harness and hooked the remote to the car harness ignition wire. But I don't have an amp to test it. I still have to manually turn of the hu but do you think this will turn the amp off?
Are u hooking both power wires to the constant? If so find a 12v source that is off when the car is off and hook the 12v thats not ur constant to that, it is normaly the red wire.
To answer your? Yes when u turn ur hu off it should shut the amp off. But Imo you should find a wire, or run a new one. It really stinks having to try and find someone to jump u when u forget to shut it off.
Yea that's what im trying to avoid. How should I run a wire? Its really tough to do anything because the way its set up behind my hu it kicked my *** trying to run my rca's and remote
Your fuse panel may have a couple open spots you can run it from. And it might be a pain in the arse, but IMO its worth it. Did u double check and make sure u did not blow a fuse or anything. I find it odd that you had a a 12v wire that is getting current with car on but will not work.
I triple checked all the fuses and everything tinkered with all the wires and still no solution. I've never ran into this problem and i've wired many systems
What kind of car do you have? Try findind a forum for ur car and see if anyone there has any advice. If not u can run another wire or just turn it off. And like I said ur amp should shut off when the hu is off, but u will have to wait till u get one to know for sure.
