i have 2 10"subsand an amplifier i am installing, but i need to run the remote wire to the fuse box, but there are no extra spaces, how did any of you guys do it, i have a 98 v6, i dont know if that makes any difference, but please help!!

I tapped mine into the Mach 460 amp. I don't think you have the Mach 460.

[Jimbo12]

nope, any other suggestions?

There is another way. Run one wire to the battery. The add a inline fuse. Connect that wire to a swtich. And another wire to your amp.

No clue, didn't do mine myself. But Tweeter did mine, they did a good job though.

Jim, hope you don't mind but I moved your post to our Audio, Alarms and Electronics Tech forums where it is more appropriately suited and hopefully will help get you the answers you need. Wish I could be of help but this is definately not my dept of expertise

thanks scott, i completely forgot we had the audio, alarms, and electronics forum, but if any one else could help, i would greatly appreciate it

You need to tap into the ignition wire going to your head unit...whether it aftermarket or OEM. They BOTH have ignition wires( this is so it comes on with the car). DO NOT go straight from the battery that is GHETTO:. You only want your amp on when the stereo is on. The yellow wire going to your head unit should be the ignition wire...the red is constant power for memory.

As your attorney, if you're using the factory head unit, I would advise you to get a line out convertor if you have not already done so. About 10-15 bones. I'm assuming you have since you are trying to hook up your remote wire.

This is the only way to do this. All others including going to the fuse box are not advised.

glad i read this post today. i am putting my new system in tomorrow and i hate just running a wire from the batt. but i wasnt sure what wire was the power. i have a switch for it from my old system so when my girlfriend is in the car i can turn it off but i just dont want a direct wire.
thanks matt

it all to easy to do. all u need to do is take your deck out, and i hope you used and aftermarker wire harness. then all u need to do is take into the remote wire there that goes to your deck. it should be blue with a white stripe. then all done and put back together. just make sure u make a good conection
