i have a stock bose head unit and i am curious if i can run a remote wire from my cig lighter fuse since it has a constant 12v source, is this ok or is this too much volts for the amp? thanx

 

Yes you can. are you just using it to turn an amp on?

 

yes but my amp blew yesterday. think thats the problem?

 

it will always stay on.. as long as you know that.... lol

 

is there anything else besides that and the ignition, because i dont want to blow another amp again

 

Umm the ideal way is to find the power wire on your head units harness and they make these blue things that just tap into it.. takes 5 seconds. I'd really reccomend doing that... If your going to do it, do it right. Just my .02 cents.

 

i put it on something called AUDIO fuse is that ok too?

 

Yes, just make sure your amp will turn off when the car is turned off.

 

omg please use a test light if not a multimeter to find a switched power source before you fry something else. Those "blue" things are called T-Taps and come in red,yellow,and blue and you'll need a male connector to plugin to it. I wouldn't use the cig lighter considering installing a switch to turn on/off the amp is more trouble than finding an accessory wire under the dash or removing 4 screws to pull out the radio.

 

na its all good now i got it on my audio fuse under the dash

 

Yea T-Taps.. they own man. <3 all those years that's what i was missing. I think munchi will agree with me, if you going to do something bro, do it 100% right or not at all... Im just throwing in my .02 cents, however im here to help you find a hot wire so you can tap into.. Meaning its still your choice we'll try to assist you anyway we can...

 

thanks guys, so what your saying is dont leave the remote wire on the audio fuse under the dash? because if i cant ill go and take apart my head unit and tap it in from there.

 

Iono about the fuse.. but just do it right and take your HU apart and tap ino the power wire. Will only take a few minz

 

2 Da Max,

If you have a aftermarket H/U then wire the remote to the remote out (blue wire) on the H/U. If you are using the factory H/U the audio fuse is just fine. I had mine set up the same exact way with no problems. the audio fuse is factory H/U's power wire. So it's ok to hook it into audio fuse.

 

thanks alot nostrixoide i really appreciate your help, youve helped me out more than anyone else i have asked at the electronics store

 

no problem man, that's what this place is here for, (Helping out)....
