Hey guys Im installing an amp in my car and running 9-wire to the back of the stock radio harness. My question is which wire do I use as a remote turn on for the amp? Do I connect the remote turn on directly to the factory wiring or should I splice it with the aftermarket wiring harness? Silly thing is I had it all up and running but I took everything apart to solder the connections and now I dont remember how I got my amp to turn on in the first place. Cheers fellas.

I soldered everything together and used heat shrink tubing could the heat from the heat gun have damaged something? Far as I remember I connected the two twelve volts the ground and the blue wire from the 9-wire to the aftermarket harness and the speaker wires to the rest of the 8 wires from the 9 wire cable. could be wrong however.Originally posted by Cb7Music View Post -

Hey. You're right it's usually the blue wire, but there's probably other blue wires. All I can say is there's a wire in the harness (prob blue, look up the manual / instructions) and it is the Remote wire. Connect it to the remote wire coming from the amp.
If you got the usual .....stereo adapter harness which looks like this: https://www.amazon.com/Harness-Insta.../dp/B018YJOQ7Q
Then I believe it's the bright blue wire. & no, heat gun can't do anything to the wires, but can melt the outside sheathing and cause the wires to touch. If that were to happen you'd be blowing the fuse all the time and see weird things happening like fires :PComment
