Hey I'm kinda new with the whole car stereo installation, but I went ahead and bought 2 12" Alpine Type-R with the custom T-top box from subthump.com for my 1998 3.8L Coupe Camaro. Anyway, I've run the power wire from the battery to the back and the ground as well, however I don't know where I can run my Remote Turn on Lead from the amp to? I've read that if you have a power antenna you can run it to that input on the back of the head unit, but I don't have a power antenna so I'm out of luck there.
Would it be possible to splice into my stock CD changer and have the amp turn on with the ignition? If not where could I run the turn on lead wire without replacing the stock headunit?

Thanks in advance

you didn't run your ground to your battery did you?

pentavolvo

you can tap in behind the radio to the ignition wire

no i haven't run the ground yet, but I'm planning to on the spot right in front of the spare tire on the passenger side. how would that effect it?

pentavolvo

thats what you want to do, keep ground short. it soudned like u were going to ground to the battery which is bad

tbrown703

oh no haha. ive got a spot for the ground. im just trying to find how i can wire in the remote turn on so the amp turns on when the car does. you mentioned the ignition wire..what does that look like?

pentavolvo

pull the radio out its pin 9, yellow if i recall

tbrown703

do you have a diagram for the back of the headunit? cuz i had it out yesterday but i couldnt tell what wires controlled what. therefore i'm not sure where pin 9 is lol
