I have no idea how to do this, I imagine there are kits for it but i dont know what they are called or how they work. All i want to do is connect my amp to my receiver so i can use my 10" rockfords with my factory receiver, i have a 2003 civic ex.

thanks.

Run the power cable, then splice your rear speakers to the speaker level inputs on your amp [if it has them]. I think that most amps that have speaker level inputs also sense automatically when to turn on and off from the inputs, so you don't need to hook up a turn-on lead.

If it doesn't, you can get a line level convertor to convert the rear speaker line to rca inputs.

a simple LOC (line output converter), they range from something low like $10 to some high prices like $50. they basically get an input signal from the speaker wires coming out of the deck, then converts that to low level signal (which is basically an rca cable). just go to a shop and ask for a line out converter.

thanks for all the help guys, im about to do install my amp and everything right now.


Edit: Actually I need a bit of help, i have no fluggin idea where to put the remote wire and how to hook it up, can anybody help me? im gonna search the forums for it, but i figured id ask here.

im gonna hook the remote wire to my cigarrete lighter, if thats not a good idea someone please tell me where to put it at, but im gonna try that for now. I just gotta figure out how to get the friggin plastic piece with the cigarette lighter off. I dont wanna break it.

i think the cig, outlet might but out too much power and could possibly damage the amp..but this is a guess.

if you splice into the back speakers, and run those wires to the line level inputs on the amp. it should turn on automatically and not need a remote.

what kind of amp do u got?

and i think the plastic piece has two bolts at the bottom of it that you need to remove. check the DIY section...it will be there.

Alright thanks guys, i figured it out and it worked on the first try, that almost never happens. But to answer your question scarpones i have a alpine t130 i think.... im not sure but i know its alpine. and i have 2 rockford 10" subs. They sound great in my civic. I used to have them in my 87 Prelude.

theres no such thing as too much power to a remote.

you can run 0 gauge to your remote off a bank of 16 batteries and it wont be a damn difference.

remember, you dont send things power, the load takes the power and uses whatever it needs.

then why you ask is the remote wire so small?

because it doesnt NEED anymore than that
