i have a little blue wire comming from the remote thing on the amp and im putting it into the stock head unit which wire do i splice into ???
this is fora 02 chevy malibu
ps : silverWS6 posting under macs name
im not sure about stock but you could just use the RED switched 12v wire from the back of the head unit! on most aftermarket HUs its the blue wire with white stripes!
this is into a stock head unit ! and there is no blue n white stripe wire
hey mike why dont you stop posting under my screename
i realize its the stock HU!
hey you can get a 12v switch wire at the ignition switch if you look behind the radio to your left ther is a harness and theres a green wire or pink wire you can use the wires are covered with black tape

dont bother with that… you can actually use the radio fuse or any other switched 12v source inside the fuse box in the car. This is kinda the ghetto way to do it but it works.
not to mention it doesnt involve hacking into a stock wire harness
Hey clay hit me up ill walk you threw it. if not for a GM factory wire harness. your gonna need to do a slight T splice into the harness. the wire your looking for is going to be an orange wire. a yellow wire is constant and the orange one is switched. its been awhile if that isnt right then its reversed. but all of GM’s wires have been the same since back in the day
wow, all this just for a remote turn on wire for an amp. hehe.
Any 12v switched will work, theres hardly any draw at all, it just needs to see some voltage in order to tell the amp to turn on.
This reminds me of a funny sroty though. I was hooking up an amp in my buddys car one time, it was supposed to be me HELPING him, but i get over there and he ends up blabbing on the phone with some cunt for the first half of the install, then about halfway through tells me he has “more important shit to do, just go ahead and finish it up, ill be back in a few hours”.
So i hooked his remote turn on to his illumination wire so it would only work when he had his lights on. It was funny, you could spot him coming from a mile away in the daytime, cause he always had his headlights on. Stupid fuck.

fuck it. I was supposed to be helping HIM do it, and he sticks me with the whole job while he’s out trying to score some pie. The people in the know knew that i did it on purpose, and all the other fuckheads knew not to ask me to help them, because I was the one that “cant even wire up an amp”
hehe

whose car did you do this to?
i always wired the switch wire to the fuse box
got it to work at first i spliced into the fan switch on the heater controls and it would only turn on when i had the fan on 1-2-3-4 but not off or high 
so i found a different wire and hooked it up and works great now. kinda funny /ghetto a malibu with bass no spinners though 
parents are going to drive there car dam the oldies station didnt use to sound like this
