were did you install the amp? if it is in the rear then you can just tap into the + wire going it the rear speaker. the remote wire just has to connect to a + the is only on when the sterio is on that is why i used the rear speaker, it is the easy way to do it i would have to look at a harness to tell you witch one it is

the remote just has to have some kind of current, and it tell the amp to turn on. it is not drawing an power from the speaker to power the amp. when you turn the radio on the speaker will start to get power from the deck and then you amp will get the signal to turn on. I have had my in for 6 months and have had no problems.

http://www.houston-f-body.org/tech/monsoon/ They have schematics for what your doing.

There is a pink wire on the t/a's and a blank spot on the back of camaros. I had to use an old pin off my monsoon amp and splice into the deck plug.

The pink wire on the firebirds is the antenna lead. You can use that as the remote turn on because it only has power when the headunit is on and has power the entire time that the headunit it on. I'd rather use that then tapping into a speaker wire.
