Hi people

The missus kindly bought me an amp & sub for christmas. The problem i have got is where do i connect the remote wire (blue) from the amp to the head unit?
Also which RCA plugs do i use off the back of the head unit? Cos iv got 3 sets....

Time to use the biggest book in the world, the internet. Search using your headunits model number and with luck you should be able to find a manual for it. Or is it the standard head unit?
If its the standard 1 I think i've got a manual or diagram and will dig out later to night. Dont forget to run power for the amp direct from the battery and there is a 10mm? lug in the boot on passenger side underneath lights for the earth.
A few people have put on here how to run the power and the best routing from the engine bay to rear. What ever you do dont run the power and RCA cables side by side. The muppet who put amps and bass in mine did and I still have to sort it out.

Cheers Alastair. It is the standard head unit. Iv wired in amps before, but previous stereos have always had a blue wire on the back of them for the remote wire. Iv searched the web but aint had no luck.
Iv also got the users manual that came with the car, but doesnt have any diagrams.

On the back of the headunit are 2x 8 way connectors looking from the back these are on the right hand side at the bottom. On the bottom one of these 2 there are only 6 pins counting from the right it is the 2nd pin on the top row. That is the industry standard one, so this is all theory as I am working from a headunit out of the car & a wiring harness off the one I have now put in the car. So you need to connect a wire to it, put a meter on & then switch on your headunit.

As to the output of the RCA leads Purple, Black & grey i have no idea I asked the same question earlier in the week & didn't get a response.

Cheers Phaeton, all done!
As for the RCA leads use the shorter ones (purple).

Got decent sound in my coop now!

They are for a Line In feed. i.e.an Ipod.

IIRC the leads are:
2 for front out
2 for rear out
2 for line in

Thats 6 phono plugs?

Now have a Sony so I could be talking utter rubbish

Sounds about right but it would be nice to know the colours, purple are definately an out, just leaves grey & black to sort out anybody?

Sorry Phaeton, i havent got a clue
