i am needing to find out the color wire i need to hook into to turn the remote on the amp. i am keeping the stock stereo as i do not know what i want right now. what wire do you tie into to that only comes on when the stereo comes on?

 

the antenna power wire, i believe its orange/black if i am not mistaken..

 

umm there is no power antenna on the xA/B/TC

i'd use the ACC wire, tap into the cigarette lighter circuit

 

there is a wire for it or something.. thats the one i used

 

The gray one

 

yeah... that works too hehe

 

thanks for the help... i went with the gray one.

It may not be a power antenna but the B does have a power antenna amplifier that is where he wants to connect the amp remote turn on to.

are you plugging an amp directly into the factory head unit via RCA cables?

 

i am having to use rca converters....cause the factory head unit does not have the rca jacks. also does anyone ever have the problem of a constant hum?

 

yea thats what i thought but i wasnt sure. im still new to the XB and thought for some crazy but good reason the manufacturer put RCAs from the factory. yea right.

where's the best deal for the converters man?

 

i already had them but i am sure that best buy or someone has them and they cant be that much.

 

[quote="kzhorse"]Unfortunately this is not a solution because when you switch the HU input to CD or aux, the HU +12V out which powers the ant amp (black wire on mine), turns off.

 

I used this PDF when I was seting up my subs and amp, it tells what each wire does.

Sounds like a ground loop but yeah, thats definatly not normal.

 

It is either a ground loop or interference. Does the hum tend to go up and down in pitch with the RPM of the motor? If so, then it is most likely a ground loop caused by an inadequate ground. Make sure your amp is securely grounded. The ground location should be clear of any and all debris and, for best results, should be down to bare metal. This may require grinding away any paint from the ground location.
