hey, i just need to know wut wire to tap for the remote turn on. the amp is a fosgate 201s in a 98 civic. i tried tapping the +12V switched wire in the stereo harness, but it just made my rear speakers crackle, the amp didnt turn on. thanks for your help!

 

your stereo should have a power antenna wire comming off the back...use that

 

if he uses that wire then the amp will only work when the radio is on, as soon as he goes to listen to a cd the antenna will shut off and so will the amp, you should have a remote wire coming off your deck, use that one, it should be blue or blue w/white stripe..........

 

if not than use the ignition wire

 

haha, turns out i WAS using the right wire, i had a bad ground to the amp, thanks guys! One more question tho... i have 2 subs, and the right one doesnt get work unless hooked into the left channel, however, i know the right channel is good cuz the left sub will work w/it. they just dont work at the same time. also depending on whether i turn up the gain, the sub hooked to the left channel will increase in volume, but the other will remain off.... any suggestions?

 

o, btw, for the time being i have both hooked into the left channel so its like 1 4 ohm sub b/c both are 8 ohm... basically im only gettin half my power...

 

are they bridged? and are they DVC (dual voice coil) subs?

 

my suggestion is to take this shit to circuit city and have them install it.

 

they are not DVC or bridged at the moment, i just have 2 8 ohm subs on one channel, effectively making the power of one 4 ohm sub.

 

run them in a series, and bridge them
