I bought a used deck off someone and I won't be putting it in my car for another couple of weeks.

I was wondering how I can go about testing it in my house somehow. What should I hook the power wire up to, the remote wire, the battery lead (alpine deck) etc etc...

Can this be done?
I just want to make sure it works soon, just in case there is a problem.

Thanks

 

get a 12 volt battery and a fuse around `15 amp and connect er up and hook up some speakers to test it out should work for ya

 

What gets connected to the fuse? the switched power, or remote wire?

Thanks for your help.

 

power, remote is for your amps turn on

 

hook the remote wire up to the positive to turn it on

fuse can go on negative

 

hook up switched power and constant to the fuse usually red and orange or yellow and ground to the ground

 

Don't listen to this guy

 

If you just want to see if it comes on, you can hook it up to your battery with your hood open. Takes all of 1 minute. I've done this before when a freind was buying used.
It took us another 5 minutes to get all 4 speaker outputs hooked up.
Measured remote output with a volt meter.
It worked. Paid the man, went home happy.

 

I agree with tom 100% pos to constant and switched with inline fuse and neg to neg then speakers your all set
