expose the wire.

4. Connect the remote wire to the stereo’s 
remote wire by twisting both wires together, and 
insulate the connection well with electrical tape.

The remote wire, when connected to the amplifi er, is 
designed to turn on the amplifi er automatically when 
your stereo is turned on.

Consult with the manufacturer’s user guide for your 
stereo head unit to locate the remote or turn-on wire, 
as some manufacturers might label their amplifi er 
turn-on feature differently.
