      yea blue.. if somehow your head set dosnt have one or somthing happened to it and it isnt there.. you can take a small wire and put it in the remote wire place and bridge it to the power if you want it to turn on.. umm i would leave it on.. it will kill your battery.. so that means when you are done listening to the system.. just pull the remote wire out of the power wire..

          the solid blue is for power antenna and the blue/white is for amp turn on, so use the blue/white casue if you use the blue when u listen to radio your amp will be on and when you go to cd your amp will shut off, cause the blue looses power when you go to cd cause the power antenna retracts.

            That just sounds ghetto, and like a nice fire risk... If your not gonna do it right, shouldn't do it at all...

              My brothers, friends stereo caught on fire and it was "professionally" installed, so yes do it right heh. He brought it back and yelled at them so they put the stock stereo back in and left so many clips/bolts missing and hacked it BADD, like tweeters dangling in the door panel and shit. Anyway.. use the blue/white. I have two amps so I had to splice the end of mine into two wires so 1 could go to both amps.

                    You should use a relay for this application and use the 12v+ head unit lead to trigger the relay. Source voltage should come directly from the battery. I used to install, and that's the RIGHT way.

                      Someone help me out here but if you don't have the amp turn on wire you should be able to do something with your acc. power wire. However this would cause the amp to be on if your acc. power was on even if the stereo isn't.

                        yes your amp will be on even though your radio isnt on, what you can do is buy a tr-4 module, pac makes it, its a low voltage trigger module that will turn on your amp, its great when adding an amp to a stock stereo

                          What about instead of running a jumper wire, that can cause problems, how about a switched +12 source, or even run a +12v line to a switch, then to the amp??? Alot safer, and not ghetto...

                            Just like CustomLowz said, A Switch is the best way to go, sometime you dont feel like having you bass pumping so you could just switch off. On my system i have my wire running from Radio-->Switch-->amp.

                              A simple multimeter suggestion would have easily found the solution. Turn car on, "wire" recieves I think 3.5 or 5 volts (eh forgot the numbers).
