Remote wire for amp to cut it off My friend helped me set up my sub a while ago. It works... except it doesn't cut off when the car does. The power cable is connected directly to the battery, and the remote wire is spliced to a blue wire of the same color behind the headunit :o I assume it needs to be spliced to a wire that only has power when the car is on ACC or on.... how do I find out which wire I need to splice it with?
My headunit isn't stock btw... sony 5700cdx

The aftermarket head unit should have a remote turn-on wire that is blue with a white stripe. The plain blue wire is for power antenna control (assuming that your head unit uses standard wire colors).
In the factory harness, if you have a Firebird, you can connect the remote turn-on wire to the power antenna control wire (pink wire in the black connector) - it has power only when the head unit is on. In a Camaro, your only choice would be the accessory power wire (yellow wire in the black connector) - it has power whenever the ignition is on and during RAP operation (after the ignition is off until you open a door).
