The remote line 4 the AMP should be blue with a white trace(this will turn the amp on)

I dont have a blue with white trace connected theres one but its not connected to the HU

[BundyBear]

what's the blue/white one conected to? it hasn't pulled out of the decks plug?

cause page 8 of the man says #17 Blue/White - Amp / Power Ant

Ohh dam it just lying around there not connected?

[BundyBear]

Hopefully there's only one spot on the plug it can go, you'll just have to find a way to stop it falling out again

if theres more than one spot it can go you'l have to find out which one first, maybe someone with a similar model could post a pic of the plug 4 ya or duck into your local car audio shop

cheers

okay so i got it all working amp power on but when i turn the car on there no music :s

so i disconnected the remote wire and music started playing agian but now when the remote wire is connected the amp doesnt turn on?

[BundyBear]

hmm, bit different

So are you putting a new system in or is it an existing system thats playing up? What model Amp?

cause it sounds like somethings seriously cross wired, assuming you put the blue/white wire in the right spot

Sounds like it might be worth getting a pro to look at it rather than risk damaging anything!

I think its an alpine 4 channel amp

the blue white wire is correct i got some friends to look at it but they don't see why its not turning on they recommened changing the fuses which i did but nothing

and yes a pro would be good now haha

+ new system trying to put in

[BundyBear]

only other thing I can thing of is maybe there's a setting in the deck that turns the onboard amp off when an external amp is senced on theat blue/white line

A temporary fix would be to hook the amp's remote line to the Accessories line for now ( put in a small fuseholder/fuse, say 1A, inline )

Into the headunit?

[BundyBear]

at the back of the headunit (easiest spot) but not into the deck

so pull the blue/white from the deck and hook (via fuse) to the Acc line

all that amp on is, is a 5a(i think) 12v power signal, so you can run a thin 14awg wire like this: batt > switch > amp, and jsut flick the switch when you wanna turn it on, else just run a wire from + on your amp to the remote connection but your amp will stay on

blue wire from amp hook up to the red acc wire with a fuse at the back of the headunit
