What is the power antenna wire for?
When the ignition of the vehicle is turned off, the remote turn on wire stops transferring voltage and the amplifier turns off. This wire is typically for power antenna or factory amplifier turn on, do not get this wire confused with the remote turn on wire with the blue/white stripe.
Where can I run my remote wire from my amp?
The turn-on wire (also called the remote wire) is located behind the stereo. On aftermarket stereos, it’s usually a blue and white wire. The remote wire will “tell” your amplifier to turn on whenever the stereo is powered up (usually, whenever the vehicle is turned on).
What fuse should I use for my amp remote?
Amperage off the remote turn on isn’t very high. Doesn’t require much to switch amps/etc on. A 3-5 amp fuse should be more then enough.
Why am I not getting power to my amp?
If the remote turn-on wire doesn’t have power, your amp won’t turn on. If it doesn’t, you’ll want to check for any inline fuses and verify that the wire isn’t loose, corroded, or shorted out somewhere. If the remote and power wires both check out okay, the next thing to look for is continuity on the ground wire.
Why does my amp turn on without remote wire?
As stated above, the fact that the amp still remains turned on without the remote/trigger wire connected means there is probably something else wrong in the amp. The headunit (when on) should be supplying the amp with a voltage which would trigger the amp to switch on.
