Remote wire for amps

[n/a]

can i splice a wire from the amp power cable to the trigger my amp? i will be using a switch to turn the amp on and off that's has a 20v cap.

[Riviera]

yes....

thats what i used to do... when i had it all set up in my room lol

how are you wiring the switch up??

[n/a]

well there's ground, acc and power.

so i'll simply ground the ground connection, remote the acc connection and power up the power connection.

You mean you will put a U-Shaped wire going from the Amp's power to the Remote? Yes that would work I did it to mine during testing.

y cant u use the acc wire off the head unit ?

(power antenna wire off head unit works aswell)

that way head unit controls amp on/off no need for seperate switch.

if u cant b F'ed running a wire from the head deck a switch would me more toublesome as u'd have to run wires form the amp to the swith somewhere around the dash (easy 2 reach) anyway.

otherwise a direct splice from power to the acc on the amp would mean amp allways on.
