why? are you putting another engine back there? that would be sweet!

I'm going go way out on a limb and assume you mean an accessory line to turn on your amp. use the rear cig ligter in the center console - oh and next time.. look at the sticky at the top of the forum about car audio stuff - it has way more info than you will ever need.

Heya Pat,

I know your in the process of installing a CarPC and if I remember right your using the 2140 to power it. Your not planning on tapping some where in the trunk I.E the rear cigarette lighter to power the 2140? If thats the case I suggest you run a fused power cable from your battery to the trunk. But if you looking for remote turn on for amp the rear cigarette lighter is the way to go.

P.S

If your looking for a place to tap for pulse start with the 2140 use either of the rear signal lights.

Second P.S

Hey Rotary Rasp sorry about that condensation rant a few weeks ago

It's for a Carnetix P1900. I'm running power/ground from the battery but I need to tap Ignition somewhere. I guess when it says it needs an ignition tap that ACC would be fine as well?
