    Amp install in cabrio

    So I ran the RCA's and power wires back into the trunk for a sub. I figured I could grab the remote on from the antenna since it's already there. The factory amp is closer but not being used since I have a powered headunit. Does the factory amp and antenna share (same wire) the remote on? any idea which wire? is it typically a white wire?

    I do have the ETM but I'm writing this on my lunch break. I just want to knock it all out in the morning.

    Barry, all the PS cars have 2 remote wires. They are in separate "harnesses", as the one for the antenna is tape wrapped with the antenna cable.

    The other one is with the inputs to the amp...so yeah, you can grab that one there. I also use the speaker wires form the amp, as they are incredibly high quality.

      Thanks Luke,

      The amp in the vert is right there on the trunk wall. Tapping into that white remote-on wire (it was white) was a piece of cake. I ran the speaker wire in between the rear seats and have a single 10" Alpine DVC Type R in a sealed box sitting in the backseat. =] Would sound a lot better if verts weren't so damn loud with all the road noise. I find myself turning up the volume more than I usually do.
