This wire is used to provide the amplifier a signal when to power on and off. When you switch on your stereo, it will send voltage down to tell it to wake up. For testing purposes you can turn on any car amp without a remote wire. It is perfectly safe to do and you will not damage your car audio eqiupment.

Wiring the remote turn on wire with an aftermarket head unit is pretty straightforward. Simply connect another piece of blue primary wire to the blue wire in the wiring harness and run the primary wire back to the amplifier to terminate in the remote turn on terminal.

any copper wire will work it doesnt matter how old or new it is. just find some old copper wire and use it.

No, run the remote wire to the remote out on the back of the headunit. You can then install a switch on the remote wire to turn it on or off, but if you run it directly to the battery you will have problems because the amps will always be on, and you will kill your battery.

If for some reason the remote wire on your headunit is not working or you are using a factory stereo, what you can do is connect the remote wire to the fuse box. Now the best method that we apply when performing this modification to a customers car is by wrapping the wire around the fuse.

If the remote turn-on wire doesn’t have power, your amp won’t turn on. If the remote and power wires both check out okay, the next thing to look for is continuity on the ground wire. If the ground connection is poor, or it isn’t connected at all, the amp may fail to turn on or not work very well.

The turn-on wire (also called the remote wire) is located behind the stereo. On aftermarket stereos, it’s usually a blue and white wire. The remote wire will “tell” your amplifier to turn on whenever the stereo is powered up (usually, whenever the vehicle is turned on).

100-FEET (30.5m) [ BLACK 14 GAUGE PRIMARY OR REMOTE WIRE ] – The lower the gauge number, the thicker the wire. Thicker wire presents less resistance to current flow.

Yellow shoudl be hot all the time, red should trigger on when the ignition is on. I would not wire the yellow and red together, it is a given you’ll leave the h.u. on and drain your battery.

Why Use Quality Audio Wire

So, for a 2000 watt amp going by most charts you will need between 4 gauge wire to 00 gauge wire depending on how far you are going. If you are only going 0-4 feet that is when you can get away with the smaller wire, but anything beyond that you will need thicker wire. 2 gauge can be used for 4 feet to 10 feet.

Jaeden, For wiring subwoofers, we recommend using wires of 12- to 16-gauge in size. There will be no audible difference between them – just less power loss with larger wire.

Keeping this in consideration, is 14 gauge speaker wire good for subs? Thick wire (12 or 14 gauge) is recommended for long wire runs, high power applications, and low-impedance speakers (4 or 6 ohms). For relatively short runs (less than 50 feet) to 8 ohm speakers, 16 gauge wire will usually do just fine.

Get a pwk design and those 300 watts will serve you well! A proper tuned ported box is still gonna get more for your money out of 300w tho. But if you want sealed thats fine as well, just dont choke the sub down.

The entire kit is compatible for 4 gauge installation and can handle up to 3000 watts of power. This wiring kit is the tight bond that glues your entire car audio system together, so invest in quality and choose the Q Power Super Flex 4 Gauge 3000 Watt Amplifier Wiring Kit today.

6AWG copper wire would be the minimum for a 60A subpanel but with a 105ft distance you have too much voltage drop and need to go up to 4AWG copper to keep the voltage drop within acceptable limits (usually 5%).

All speakers work best with the largest gauge wire possible, 18 being the “standard”. The manual states that up to 20 ft an 18 gauge wire is fine with 16 and 14 gauge for longer runs.
