Please note; I have already searched for the solution, I can't find anything significant.

Okay, here's the problem. I bought a JVC HU. The wiring harness that comes with it has a blue and white wire with a tag that says, "[...] Please connect this wire to the remote for the amplifier, equalizer, and/or auto antenna. (0.2A max)"

I'm not sure how I am suppose to incorporate both the amp and the auto antenna wires. Do I just solder both of them on this wire?

:idontknow:

Thanks in advance.
 
Yup, its simple just wire them together. I like to use a male/female connector when wiring in the amp signal wire. That way if you need to take the head unit out for some reason you can just disconnect that wire.
 
thanks!

LOL, one more thing, how do i connect the remote output wire to the amp? I really have no clue what this wire is for or even where it goes on the amp.

Stock amp? or aftermarket?

On an Aftermarket amp, The power block where the 12v cable running from battery, and ground are located there is usually a space set for the remote wire.

On the Stock amp, If you used a wiring harness adapter from Aftermarket head unit to the stock head unit wiring, it should already be done.

Normally on using multiple output from a single HU, it is suggested to use a relay, if the HU cannot supply enough power to operate multiple devices.

This is a low voltage wire only used as a signal, a relay is not necessary.:nono:
