The problem lies behind the head unit im sure. Cause for now I have to jump my amps Positive to the Lead In to get the amp to turn on. When I installed it last week the turn on signal worked fine. Did maybe my wire tap come loose?

Is there any way that I can tap into something without taking the headunit back off? Like something in the center console or something. I dont care if I have to have my ACC on for it to work.

Besides that, what wire are you guys using as an amp turn on from the STOCK head unit? I used some gray one that someone on here said to use.

Tap your remote wire into the Cig lighter pos. behind the cig lighter piece. Works fine.

wire is wire when it comes to remote wire. hell all it needs a week constant signal to let the amp know when to turn on. it doesn't need to be awesome full copper tsunami stuff. but man your power / grounds / rca's are a different story.

Boy I tell ya what, Amp Kits in general are expensive at best buy. I would much rather have the guy at Performance Auto Sound help me piece my kit together.
But I ended up with a BOSE Amp kit that I saw NEW at a pawn shop. Nice fuse holder and 12 volt Wire.
