Sub amp install

Post by BL02WAS » Fri Feb 11, 2011 6:42 am

Question, is it okay to put switched 12v feed to remote on off of amp for remote? Only reason I ask is my car previously had an aftermarket sub installed so all wiring is left there bar the heavy gauge 12v off battery itself. However I do have a small gauge wire which I'm guessing was the switched??? But with a meter it's showing 12v ignition live and ever so slight milivoltage with power off. Is this ok to use on the remote for amp? Any help appreciated.

If your unsure about that wire use the purple one from the RCM i told you about last night.You say to sub you mean to the amp right?? as this feeds the sub.
