Remote Switch/Amplifier Help

Can someone please give instructions on installing remote toggle switch. I am using the stock radio so where do I get the power from and what wires do I use to connect to the switch. Also, when I turn car off my subwoofer lets out a loud blare that will not stop I have to pull the power supply to stop can someone please tell me why and how I can fix that as well thanks.

find a wire in the dash that has 12V only when the car is on. Run that into a switch and the other side of the switch run a wire from there to the amp terminal ore where it says Rem or Rem turn on or w/e. Turn the amp off BEFORE you turn the radio or car off, should prevent the blaring.

Re: Remote Switch/Amplifier Help

Well I just blew my speaker when I turned the car on the sub just started blowing like crazy. Anyway as far as the remote switch for the power can it be powered by an empty fuse location?

yes ...

It sounds like you have the remote terminal wired directly to the +12V terminal on the amp

Re: Remote Switch/Amplifier Help

The remote wire is just going from the remote terminal run through the car by the fuse box where I was trying to use a fuse for the switch. The rem wire wasn't ran to the 12v of the amp. I don't know I can't figure out why it just blasts like that when the car is turned on I may just have to take it somewhere and pay someone I was trying to save the cash

Re: Remote Switch/Amplifier Help

I can't remember now I returned my amp. This is the speaker I had http://www.polkaudio.com/products/db1212 and the amp was Alpine MRV-M500.

Re: Remote Switch/Amplifier Help

always turn the gain all the way down (counter clockwise) before turning it on the first time.
