I'm trying to hook up an amplifier to this headunit, where do I plug in the "remote" wire for the amplifier?

Check your wire connection manual for your head unit there's a color coded wire for speaker and for your remote going to your amp's

The remote wire just requires a 12v signal. If it doesn't have the blue wire for the remote, you can splice into the red power wire. This wire is only sending power when the Ignition is in the ACC or ON position. The remote is only sending power when the head unit is on. The results are the same. If you turn the head unit off, but the car is still on, the amp will be on but using little power since there is no audio signal for it to amplify. I have done this in a few installs and it works perfectly.

I would always suggest to use a dbx Drive Rack at the input and set up the amplifier. This is the best way. The amplifier would usually then be set up with a 12 o'clock gain position and you will have enough head room

If your multi channel amp has pre amp connections you can run a small RCA/patch cable straight from the amp and a remote cable. If not you will have to run a long (5-6m) RCA from the head unit to each amp, you may need an RCA adapter if your head unit only has one RCA output.

May not have audio RCA plugs correct in the back of radio. Also may need an output from radio to the amp ?

Any headunit can be used to sound your system. I'm full satisfed with my CDE 135 BT for all options invluded. But I miss an crossover / level for each front & rear output. This option only loaded for sub output. No problem for your system - double check your system impedance.

There is a set of RCA outputs for your subs, the purple antenna wire is the remote for the amp, there is a remote control connector, the remote control you have to buy separate , speaker wires and amp wiring are also separate... If you are replacing an existing receiver just reuse the old wiring to those speakers and such

Wire it between the amp and preamp (if you have that option; only 2 rca wires required). Plug the EQ into a switched outlet on your receiver.

This is a hard wired remote station. I put the head unit below (where it's nice and dry) and this on the helm within my reach when operating the boat. It has nothing to do with the speakers other than controlling them.

Your head unit must have a plug for the remote unit to plug into. It wont plug into all stereos. Marine stereos only.

This is just a harness that uses your factory plug and stereo harness. There is a blue wire with a white line for the amp. I'm assuming you are running an amp. Hope this helps.

Check all your inputs at the amp and at your head unit if they are good it's a bad amp. Ask for a replacement. Or get your money back. I've had two of these and the first one was Doa the second worked but was absolutely terrible. Find something better.

I thought I might have that problem too because I replaced a really old Alpine. Mine went plug to plug no problem. Our local Ziebart store does stereo stuff if I need that...you might try Best Buy or Radio Shack to get something to come together.

You can wire the speakers to any head unit or a separate amp, it's your choice. All head units have the capability to directly connect to speakers and most head units from reputable brands will also allow wiring to a separate amp in addition to the direct connections.

Yes you can use the remote from the harness, the only thing some time the amp is gonna start automatically but that's just for like 10 seconds.

Read the directions that come with the subwoofer . Should tell you all the ways to hook it up there

I have the Pioneer AVHX2700BS and I just grounded the wire and it worked. In fact I didn't even ground to anything except touch it back to the head unit itself. See here: https://youtu.be/hd0rz3iMrPQ?t=1m37s

Better to get an amplifier installed, something like - http://www.pioneerelectronics.com/PUSA/Car/Amplifiers/GM+Series/GM-A3602
