Default Installing sound system

Alright, after Tantra and I routed the wiring for the amp, I'm left hopeless!!! How , and where do I attach the RCA, and remote wire to? I already have the ground, speaker, and power cable set up. All is left is the RCA and the remote wire.

GS 400 1999 with factory head unit.

I told you a few times..but maybe it'll help if it is written...

The RCA obviously goes into the AMP input...
and the Remote wire...Did you get the fuse accessory?

That fuse accessory you can plug in to go with your heated seats...or you can plug it in to go with something else..your choice...

Or for the antenna you can take apart your dash and link it with your factory remote connection..

Won't that just kill my electrical system? And then where do I install the RCA cables into my radio??

Oh and btw, that Hi-Low you gave me, IS BROKEN.

Some of the wires for the high low disconnected from the main circuit board.

Okay! I got the mini fuse, and a brand new high low. Installed the remote wire to the fuse just like you said, and the high low was obvious. New problem! The amp doesn't turn on!!

What now tantra? HMMMM?

you might of tapped the wrong rem wire

a trick you can do to see if the amp is really dead is take a lil wire and touch it with the rem and positive power

if it turns on the amp is fine if it doesnt it fried some how

yeah, that is how you can test it.

If your amp is not getting signal, it can be that you didnt ground it properly...or check the power wire again...

if those two are good to go...then it is something with you ant...and its not turning your remote on..

you gotta recheck the connections!

does the amp have a LED that signals it turning on?
