Installing amp and subs - Where to run remote wire? - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Ok, I am trying to install subs and an amp in my car.

I have a line out converter and know basicly what to do.

What I dont know is where to run the remote wire from my amp.

I mean i've had a little experience with car audio but its
been a while since i've hooked up subs and an amp to a
factory radio.

I dont have a factory amp so I cant tap into that, where should
I run it?

I just need to know the easiest place I could tap into.

If you have no amp, then the easy thing is a speaker-driven relay to drive the remote line. Any car audio joint should have them. There are some LOC's that have them built-in, but you said you have one already.

Ok, thank you. I will check that out and see if I can get one.

Tie it into the white wire leading to the factory amp.

He said he didn't get the Boston Acoustics package, so no factory amp.

yep, thanks for the replies.

No amp, if I did it would be alot easier.

I'm gonna try to get a speaker driven relay like TonyNo suggested.
