0verb00st Posted September 22, 2002 Share Posted September 22, 2002 run it off the power antenna. or you could run a relay off the acc power wire of the headunit. or mount a switch to turn it on and off manually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XScarAudio Posted March 15, 2003 Share Posted March 15, 2003 In your case, id buy a cheap lighted switch(so it reminds you to turn it off and saves the battery), 20 feet of 16 GA wire, run the wire from the battery to your dash to the switch to the amps remote screw. Then run a straight 8 ga wire from the battery to a fuse, from the fuse to your amps power, then run an 8 ga wire to the closest ground. Then you're going to have to tap into the rear speakers for a high voltage speaker channel to go to your amp since you dont have RCA outputs. hope that helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
