Keeping the stock HU.....I found the correct wire on the stock radio harness and tapped into it, then ran the wire down the passenger side to the amp under the front seat.

It's been a while since my install so I'm unsure of which color wire it was but you can find out the info on this site.

Good luck!

 

I think it is blue.

 

wait what? im not talking about HU power but the signal that comes from the HU to turn on n off amps. are yall sure? why would a stock system come w that if theres no stock amp? now im confused again. what does it go to, and should one splice or tap?

thats pretty awesome that its on there already. i had to do some crazy relay action stuff on my last one. guess that really simplifies things! thanks

 

Search is your best friend:

Honestly, you probably will need an SPST switch or go into the fuse box to find a good source. I thought some of the sound processors have ability to turn on amplifiers. I do not want to give bad advice. I believe it is brown and not blue. as listed on one this thread.

Never mind the brown wire either. You will figure it out after you read those threads.

 

Yeh, I see what you're saying but I,ll probably be a nerd n close that circuit anyway just to avoid annoying interferences. My ears can be real princesses; Im very sensitive you see :act029:

Thanks again!:act035:

 

(Using the stock head unit) If you use a quality LOC it will require a switched 12v+ source and have an amp remote wire. Many modern amps with high level inputs, uses that signal to turn on the amp.

Amp turns on when HU turns on in my setup.
