Well I tried to hook up my amp and was un-successful. The amp will not come on. I have the power wire run, but what color is the remote turn on for the stock amp so I can tap into it. Also can I use the ground from the stock amp or should I use a bigger one. Please help!
Thanks
mark

Definitely don't use that tiny grond on the stock amp...you can go to ground UNDER the amp where it is bolted in if you like.

As far as the remote turn on wire, I keep forgetting the color, I THINK it's yellow with a white or blue stripe, but I'm not 100% sure...even with that, you MAY need to add a relay because the stock amp only needs 9.76 (in that area) volts to turn on and your aftermarket amp may need at least 11.5 to turn on and stay on, and will run most efficiently around 13 - 13.8 (when the car is running)
