1991 honda civic amp install

Im helping a friend install a pioneer amp that came with his 1991 honda civic and i was wondering where the best place to draw power would be? I would really like to just tie it into the ignition that way i dont have to worry about it draining the battery. Not really familiar with hondas so if anyone has wiring diagrams or any advice i would appreciate it. The way it is hooked up now is it is just drawing power directly from the battery.

Thanks

right to the battery. Make sure you have the correct amperage in-line fuse connected to the wire before the amplifier.

the main power comes from a wire directly attached to the battery, there is also a small turn-on wire that comes from the head unit that acts as a switch to turn the amp on when the head unit turns on.

Yeah the power comes directly from the battery. And yes like stated previously you will need a in line fuse after the battery. You will have to get the right amperage fuse also depending on what size wire you got.

yo can always install a switch so u can turn it on manually. I did that on my one friends car. all you have to do is had a power wire with a fuse on it heading to one part of the switch, and the amp's power coming from the other part of the switch

if you want to install a power switch its not safe to install it on the power wire, install it on the remote wire... Most headunits have a sub on/off so installing a switch is a waste of time

agreed, you wouldn't want a switch carrying that kind of current

it really is safer than you think it would be. the owner of the car i had installed it on is a automotive technician/Mechanic, and it was his idea to install it. So he would know if it was safe or not. ad of course there would be a fuse on the power wire.

unless its a very heavy duty switch that can handle alot of amps then it's not safe.

no crap

so lets see this high amperage switch....

I suppose we do not know whether is safe or not,i have an advice ,you can find some information in
