remote wire to amp help(pic)

[94blckhawaiian]

ok so this is my first time installing an amp in my car. i've got to run the remote wire to my amp but im not exactly sure how to do it. i have a JVC head unit. i have no idea where to connect the remote wire. i have a pic of the back of the head unit if it helps. could someone tell me where to hook it in?

Look for the blue or blue white. Blue is remote, b/w is usually power antenna. Some HUs only power the antenna for the radio, so if you have both, use the blue. You might try going to their website and looking up the manual for your HU.

try that blue and white wire

Usually is blue, but you can hook it to the yellow/switch power 12 volt wire and it will come on when the key is turned. You need 12 volts that switches, or you can be ghetto and run a switch somewere for now.

that blue and white one is the power antenna. there is no other blue wires on the back. and if i do have to use the power antenna wire, will i have to cut it? i can't pull it out of that connector

[gloryaccordy]

I think there may be a stray red one. Did this thing come with a manual?

[94blckhawaiian]

yes but i can't find it >.<

from reading other threads it says not to use the power antennawire b/c it will only amp up when using the radio. is this true or should i try that wire?

ok so im thinking of using the power antenna wire in the trunk. i uninstalled my power antenna a while back. but when I used to have it installed with the same head unit im using now, it was up everytime the car was running. even while playing a CD or my ipod. what's ur guys opinion on this choice? lmk asap

i'm sure u got a remote wire on that HU...i personally wouldn't cause most of the time the antenna only works when you switch the radio...but it's your car bro so really your decision..

I want to use the power antenna/remote wire behind my head unit but im not sure how to go about doing that. how do I hook up my remote wire to the head unit? there's no open spot to do so

Just tie it together and tape it. run the wire to the trunk.

[94blckhawaiian]

so cut the remote wire that comes out of the head unit and connect it with my remote wire from my amp?

Splice the amp remote wire to the red power wire for your HU. (Don't pull anything out of the plastic block.This is the switched power (meaning it only comes on when you turn the key). The yellow is always powered. It keeps your memory working). You can also go to their website like I suggested and download the owner's manual. You probably want to get some help from a bussy based on the questions you're asking. It's easy to hook up an HU, it's also easy to fry one.
