donovanl12 Posted July 17, 2011 Report Posted July 17, 2011 My sister wants some bass to go along with her music and her stock 2010 Nissan Versa speakers aren't doing it. I have a sub for her, and she ordered an amp. She won't buy a new headunit (ughh), so I have to use the stock stereo. The amp has high level inputs, so I don't need to order a line converter. The only question I have is do I need to hook up the remote wire going from the amp to the headunit? I found the color codes for the wires, other than the speaker wires there is: illumination wire, switched lead/accessory/ignition wire, and a ground. Would I just tap the remote wire from the amp into the switched lead/accessory/ignition wire? Does it even need a remote wire with the stock head unit? I want it to turn on when my sister turns her car on, and shut off when she shuts her car off. Any help would be really appreciated! Thanks alot! Don

Torres Posted July 17, 2011 Report Posted July 17, 2011 i usually run my remote wires to a fuse in my fuse box. just test it and make sure it comes on and off when the car does
Louisiana Bass Posted July 17, 2011 Report Posted July 17, 2011 Just wire it to the fuse box. I had to install a kicker l5 15" in a buddies ride, he didn't have a new HU. Just tapped into a ignition fuse. N8. No homo...unless you want there to be.
donovanl12 Posted July 18, 2011 Author Report Posted July 18, 2011 Haha, alright thanks for the fast replies guys!
JoshuaOwens Posted July 19, 2011 Report Posted July 19, 2011 just go to auto zone and a get a mini fuze piggy back (whatever its called auto zone will know what u mean) and plug it into any 12v switched power (ignition on/ and accessory) and you will be good to go! did this to a buddies cobalt with fog lights and remote works like a champ! but make sure it is accessory power and ignition on.. or else ur amp will only work if the key is fully on! Hope this helps!
