Sub Problems

[burttany]

My and my roommate, Kentucky, finally got my subwoofer and amps working. The only problem we have is that the subs will only work if the radio is on but if I turn on my ipod or cd nothing turns on. We are thinking that maybe we need to combine some wires or something but we dont know. Any advise?

I can't really tell from your description.. what doesn't work? the deck turns off? the amps turn off?

I dunno... but... sounds like

You did something funky with the wiring harness like...
1: put the power antenna wire on your radio to the power wire from the cars wire harness.
2: spliced your amp turn on wire from the power antenna.


need more details on your problem though.
