wht wire do u hook up the remote wire from an amp to?
Colby, technically you could connect your amplifier turn on wire to the radio switched 12v+ wire. That way your amplifier is on whenever the car is on and off whenever your car is off. Just make sure to run an in-line 1-amp fuse on the amplifier turn on wire. Hope this helps. Good Luck.
So i am supposed to hook the remote turn on to my amp to the switched 12v+? is it necessary to have a fuse on the remote turn on wire?
Mitzel, technically you could connect your amplifier turn on wire to the radio switched 12v+ wire if your car doesn’t have a remote turn on wire. To be safe, an in-line 1-amp fuse on the amplifier turn on wire is necessary. Hope this helps. Good Luck.
which color are the wires for the battery and accessory to go into my stereo?
Josh, the car radio constant 12v+ wire is blue/white and the car radio switched 12v+ wire is yellow/red. Hope this helps. Good luck with your radio installation.
