How do I hook up my amp to get my stereo system going if my head unit does not have RCA output jacks on the back like most aftermarket head units?

Where do I connect the remote wire coming from the Amp to?
Do you have a blue wire coming out of the radio? If so, it goes there. Have to run a wire from your radio to the amps. Hook the wire to the blue wire of your radio, and other end to remote on amp.
The blue wire from the radio will not work, As this wire will shut off when a cd in being played in the radio. The blue wire it a antenna turn on wire, If the radio has a BLUE/WHITE wire use that. The blue/white wire is the AMP turn on wire.
The peice you need is a Line out converter or high/low converter. Most of these have a supplied amp turn on if the radio does not supply one. The peice basically taps into the high level speaker output from the radio and converts it to a Low signal acceptable for aftermarket amplifiers
