Help Remote Turn On Lead for Amp ?

nuklhd · 02-26-2009, 11:15 PM

Wondering if someone could tell me what would be the best place to connect this lead from my Alpine Amp. It says "Remote Turn-On Lead or Power Antenna (positive trigger) ". I guess I need this connection to power my amp but I am unsure of were to tap in on my 01 Vert. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Yes I am just adding a sub and an amp. Can I splice into sometning in the fuse panel in the floor or do I have to go to the harness.
Thanks

Thanks thats a great idea. The car already had RCA cables run to the trunk from the radio when I got it. It also had both power and ground back there, also another wire which ran to the fuse panel area but was disconnected. I'm guessing that wire was for the remote turn on or antenna power lead. If I tap into the rear antenna lead will this mean the amp will always be on even with the car off. I'm sure that sounds like a stupid question(it does to me) but I am a novice when it comes to this sort of thing.
I really appreciate your help.
Thanks again.
