is there a way which i can power my amp WITHOUT a remote wire??

 

Yes you can use a little piece of wire to jump from the power terminal on the amp to the remote. However it will drain your battery if you forget to remove it. (This is not recommended)

 

Thats funny, cuz I was ganna ask steve that question today, But I read online that the remote connection is 12v,like smartass said, and all you need to do is run a seperate 12v line (18 gauge should be fine ) from the battery, to a 2 pole switch , back to your amps remote connection.

How do installers do it when they put subs and an amp into a car with stock deck ?..

 

I can't imagine to many people running subs of a stock deck. Although possible to hook up without them, stock decks don't have rca to run to the amplifier.

Still then you can grab the switched positive off the head unit, and if not that a car has a lot of things that have a switched positive also.

 

You could always switch it through the ignition wire!

 

Believe it or not I have even seen someone run a wire off the rear running lights to the amp. (Once again not recommended)

 

rear lights.. hahaha, thats funny as hell !
I think just running a dedicated line with switch should be safe right guys ?..
Cuz i'm in that situation right now

 

Yes that will work but remember to shut it off or your stranded

 

lol.. yea thats so true lol.. I would need to get a switch with a bright light on it lol.. put it in visibility.. make sure to shut it off before turning car off, get into a habit..

I wonder how futureshop does it ?.. Shon.. where u at ?.. I got a friend, and her subs come on when she turns ignition on lol.. but this puppy has airbags, so I dont wanna screw with anything under the dash..

 

Are you using the factory HU? If so some LOC's have a remote that is signal sensing. So you dont need a remote lead to the HU. Or you can tap into the switched accessory wire.
