[EURO] Stock stereo with new AMP (Remote-IN)

[EuroDude]

I'm gonna hook up an Audison SRx3 Amplifier to the stock Honda Stereo (6CD non-MP3) using the Rear Speaker wires for Audio Input.

My question is, the Amp requires a single Remote-In wire to turn on/off the Amp, is this available from the stock stereo?

Or do I need to run an Ignition wire from somewhere?
(If so, where can this be found?)

u can hook it up to anything that onli turns on wen ur ignition is turned on... so things like.. auto antenna wire.. or to ur ignition.. this wire doesnt really use power.. its just a switch to turn the amp on... just poke around for a wire in ur boot that onli turns on wen the ignition is on.. n use that.

So the Euro HU's dont have REM?

Thats cool i'll poke around for a suitable wire.
The Euro's have a built-in antenna in the window so I dont thik they are powered.

I guess I could rig a suitable wire from the in-cabin fuse box.



If there is an easier way, let me know

it won't have a dedicated remote, but you can use the accesory wire from the back of the head unit.

[EuroDude]

Thanks destruks, would you happen to know the colour of the wire?

I couldnt find it in this PDF (but its only for <1998)

I used an actual switch and mounted it next to the vsa button so i can just flick it on and off when i want..
you might not like that option.. but its just an idea

[EuroDude]

Yeah I thought of that, but I always listen to music so a switch would be a hassle.

Plus there is the chance of forgetting to turn it off - resulting a flat battery

[xiang]

fair enough, lol well if i turn off the car and dont switch off the amp.. the sub just makes a loud noise.. so yeah, kinda reminds me.

and hey.. it also looks cool aswell.. like a lil nos button. haha

now from memory the antenna on the euro is mounted in the glass and has a powered booster for it to work. that booster gets powered by the head unit, the trick is to find it without doing damage to the head unit (or anything else for that matter) and find out if the trigger stays on while playing CD. if it does then that solves your amp trigger issue, if not then you will need to get an accessories wire to power the amp, dont use ignition to turn on your amp as you dont want the reds staying on while your car isnt running as you dont know how many other items turn on via ignition

in a nutshell hahahahaha

[EuroDude]

I found where the Accessory connector is (in the middle compartment), but its 10amps

Would this be safe to use as a Remote-In for my Audison Amp?
10Amps sounds a bit hectik. (The Audison Remote-In specs say 7-15v 1mA)



[edit] I'll need to do some poking around with the multimeter, maybe I can rig a wire up the the antenna wire itself in the back. (erm, the antenna is in the rear window right?)

[ICACHA]

what that means is that the amp trigger will draw from the supply no more than 1 milliamp of current, its safe to connect there

might want to go and have a read of a beginners site and it goes a little like this www.bcae1.com which stands for Beginners Car Audio and Electronics 1
