DannyV18 Posted March 14, 2011 Report Share Posted March 14, 2011 The only wire i have connected to my amp is the power wire. For the turn on i just spliced it into my head unit turn on, and for my ground i just grounded to the strut tower of my car. For me, this saved a lot of wire, plus there are 2 less wires at my amp (always a good thing!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
