amp remote wire problem???
 
:Eyecrazy: hey guys i am installing my aftermarket amp and subs. i have tapped into all the right wires from the bose amp. the only problem i have is getting the remote wire to work. i have tried several of the 12v cables available, what happens is when i attatch the wire my amp turns on for 2 seconds then turns off again. atleast the led light that shows its powered.

possible wiring problem or amp? it seems like it shorts out and takes a few minutes before it starts up again when i reattatch the wire. :banghead: :banghead: help plz thanks

Tap your rear cigarette lighter for an acc signal.

where would you find the cigarette lighter wire? in the trunk or do i have to tear up the seats to get to it?>

the cigarette lighter wire is attached to the cigarette lighter in the center console. You'll have to pull the center console but its 1 panel held in place by clips and then everything else is held in place by a handful of screws. It lifts right out.
