Last night I hooked up a pair of 12" Pioneer subs to my max and now I have problems.

First off, my Kenwood amp stays on all the time.
Second, I have a Pioneer 12-disc changer and I need to know which wire that goes to the back of it is the remote wire. PS I got no manual with the changer. Wire colors are as follows, Red(Power) Yellow and Black. Black should be the ground wire right? And yellow the remote?

I spliced the remote(yellow?) wire so I could hook up the remote connection on the amp.

Also, every time I turn the car off I have to disconnect the remote wire so the amp doesn't drain my battery. And, here comes the weird part, when I close my trunk with the car off and amp still on, my subs start buzzing. I know that It's feed back, but why???

Thanks for all your help!

red = ignition ; yellow = constant power (right from battery) ; black = ground ; blue = remote

 

Hmmm, the red on my changer went to the back of my Bose deck and contained the fuse. I thought the yellow wire was the remote so that would explain why I had constant power. The black I was right about but I had no blue wire on the changer. So, I hooked up the remote wire to the cigarette lighter fuse in the fuse box to go on and off with the ignition.

Thanks for your help tafan!!

welcome... had to figure that out myself...was hooking up new h/u and lcd and none of them worked , was using red as constant and yellow as ignition; besides that , darn fuse was blown
