I think he misinterpreted remote.
The thin remote wire connects from the head unit to the amp and sends an electrical signal to power on and off :)
Otherwise when you switch off stereo and car the amp would drain your battery

oh kool ty. so looks like i really am gonna need to pull the HU out for it to work.
Oh and just curious as to why my amp has a socket that looks like it accepts a plug simular to that style. any idea what that is? :S
picture? might help explain a bit...
Edit: tbm's point makes sense
ahh ok ill upload one soon.
spent the night getting my HU out and back in. and i have the cables running down the passenger side of the car. now i just need to bring the power cable in.
anyone have tips on getting the power through the firewall?
ok sweet. ill attach the power last. just wanna get all the cables connected to the amp/sub and then ill connect the battery.
whilst soldering last night i disconnected my battery as a safety measure. now my auto windows dont work LOL.
Yeh when you dissconnect the battery you have to relearn the auto function on the windows, IIRC you just hold the window button down till it reaches the bottem then keep holding for 5 seconds, reapeat for going up. so basicially wind it down and up but keep holding button for 5 sec(after the window stops) each way and it should relearn.
thanks. also would the bolt that holds the Rear seat hinge to the body be a suitable ground?
the jazz back seats fold flat down and has hinges along the bottom to fix it to the body.
would that be a suited ground?
yeh take some of the paint off aha. i got some pics should be up in a min.
how would i go about testing if its ground? touch a multi meter to the bolt and another to the + batt?
