Does the factory radio have a preamp out? /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif

I wouldn't try it otherwise, you don't want to send a hot signal to the amp.

that is why you use preamp converters to get your preamp outputs. But i need to get my amp to turn on only when the radio comes on and i was wandering which wire anyone has used to do this other than trial and error

Gotcha, sorry, didn't know they made a preamp converter. Does that get you the same quality signal to the amp as an RCA plug?

 

[strokin4fun]

it is spliced into your front speakers and allows you to run rca cables to your amp. so it is essentially a preamp out of the radio it just converts the radio signal into preamp signal to allow the hook up of an amp. but i need the remote amp power wire not preamp i have found the lf and rf speaker wires

The stock radio does not have a turn on lead. You'll need to tap into a acc/run hot wire. I added a switch to mine.

I'll look in a little while and let you know which I wire I hooked to. I did this last Friday.

Or, if you don't already have an amp, you could get one of the ones that will take a speaker-level input and auto turn-on when it sees the signal. That will eliminate your external speaker-level to RCA converter and your wiring for a turn-on lead.

Sorry, I don't even remember which brands I've seen that have this feature, but I know I've seen it.

I HOOKED INTO JUST A REGULAR HOT ACC WIRE. I LOOKED FOR A LONG TIME FOR A REMOTE WIRE AND NOTHING. I LIKE THE SWITCH IDEA THE ONE OF THE ABOVE PEOPLE POSTED. GOOD LUCK.
