Re: Amp installation?
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..........

MORE HELP!!!
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?

Re: Amp installation?
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.
