Question about amp wiring
Is there a way i can wire my amp so that it turns on when i turn on the radio?
at the moment the way its wired it turns on automatically when i turn to the key to accessories, and well i get a low hiss out of the speakers

if you're getting a low hiss, there's something wrong with your amp/wiring. a good amp/wiring should be quiet with no input from the deck you could always put the amp remote turn on on a switch....

not sure if its the same between the sedan in the hatchback, but i have my remote amp turn on wired so whenever i turn the radio on the amp turns on as well.
I don't remember which wire it is but there is one back there, maybe pink? I am sure someone can tell you. Make sure you add a small inline fuse on there like .10 amp or however small it is Also where did you ground the amp, you might have an unclean connection |

with aftermarket decks there is usually I think a blue wire... maybe its a blue/white wire... or a yellow.... bah... almost positive its blue.... you can tell how often i do deck installs (they suck).
anyways.. that power antenna/remote turn on wire is the key. if you're running a stock deck with an aftermarket deck.... WHY?, "sqcomp" was talking about doing that... but he's going to be doing a full on sq install using a ton of electronics... he could probably tell you how he plans on doing it.... I did it with a sub amp on a very small install once... can't remember if the sub amp auto-detected the signal... or if I found a wire by the radio that did the trick... sorry. |

There are some schems on this part of the forums that have our wiring as I remember...it may be a sticky.
Taln is correct. I am in the "collection" phase at this moment. After the roadkill and ensolite goes in, then it's the Autopage RS1000 with the C3 upgrade...I'm still waiting for the release of a certain three way comp set. Sparks Toyota has been kind enough to sell me some replacement A-pillar covers (SRS airbag ones). We'll mount both the mid and tweet up high, built out from the pillar covers instead of INTO the covers. I'm not messing with the bags if someone wants to t-bone my car. I'm really exited to place the comps...the imaging is going to be spectacular! *cough* Sorry bout that. There's no reason to use BOTH a stock source AND an aftermarket source, unless you're a glutton for punishment. If you want to keep the stock source, find a good LOC. Not one of those cheapy POS ones. Get one from Audio Control, RF, JL, Audison...or if you insist on minimalism, do an AS2000 (Navone Engineering) LOC or maybe even a Soundgate LOC. Do you have an integrated source or one of the sources that pop out pretty easily?

that what i thought there should be no noise but, there is its a low his ive rewired everything a couple of times, made sure amp power cables where on one side of the car and that the rca input cables where on the other some say a grounding kit would eliminate the hiss... on that ive given up with the stereo on you cant tell there is noise in the lines Quote:
but my biggest concern is that when i the the key the amps are automatically on thats what i would like to remedy, have them turn on when i turn the radio on, is ir posible, i thought that was what the remote cable was for

You can use the antenna amplifier output from the stock radio:
It is the black wire in terminal 8 of the D10 connector: Pin #9 is the Amplifier switched power output on the Toyota D10 connector, but I am not sure if it is actually used on the stock HU (or on any variation of the Yaris). |
