honda Posted August 12, 2008 Report Share Posted August 12, 2008 I'm about to hookup my old system (juz a mono amp and a single orion 12) to my brother's new car, a 2008 Accord. He has stock HU, which i dont want to mess with. My question are: -where is the best place for me to hook up the remote wire while minimizing any modification to the vehicle's electrical? -Can I juz hook it up somewhere in the fuse box? If yes...where? and how, juz trap the wire with one of the fuses? I've installed amps before but only to a car with an aftermarket HU and a remote wire output. Although my current car, my remote wire is hooked up to the ignition, my friend hooked this up for me. Plust I really do not want to mess with my brother's ignition harness anyway. Thank you guys in advance.

E-Train Posted August 12, 2008 Report Share Posted August 12, 2008 Usually when you put a system in a car with the stock h/u u have to use the little wiring harness that comes with some amps, looks like speaker wires with a plug on the end of it, and I think thats supposed to act as your RCA's and your remote not completely sure though Quote 1997 4 Runner Alpine CDA-9886 4 Fi Audio X Series 12's 1 Crunch GP3000D Pro DC Power Inc.

I juz not sure about the remote turn on wire.

E-Train Posted August 12, 2008 Report Share Posted August 12, 2008 Oh damn i just forgot you can wire it to a switch, thats what i did in my truck, run a wire from a constant source whent he ignition is on in the fusebox i.e. the radio fuse and put a switch on it so he can turn it on or off anytime he likes Quote 1997 4 Runner Alpine CDA-9886 4 Fi Audio X Series 12's 1 Crunch GP3000D Pro DC Power Inc.

honda Posted August 12, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 12, 2008 Oh ok. But I kinda want to have the amps turn off automatically when he shuts off the car. Cuz he'll probably forget to turn-off the amp and that would drain the batt.
