    Connecting remote wire for powered sub?

    Yeah, I think I saw the manual say load in the corner and point to the front so I just went by the book. Either way, plenty of bass for my taste. Thanks again.

    Connecting remote wire for powered sub?

    Thanks for all the help guys. Got up up this morning and gave it a shot. Ended up tying all blue wires and seems to have worked. Excuse the mess but here is a pic.

    Connecting remote wire for powered sub?

    The instructions say to remove the auto turn on loop if using the remote wire. Are you and Espinoza talking about that as far as bypass? And can I confirm that I don’t need the metra antenna wire connected at all because otherwise I bought that part for nothing.

    Connecting remote wire for powered sub?

    You’re saying that the bazookas might turn off at low volumes at low volumes if all five spliced together? And I’m not sure what you mean by the bypass line? And would you connect the blue white from Sony and blue from metra antenna and blue from bazooka and tape off the two wires from pac?

    Connecting remote wire for powered sub?

    Thanks. Why do I have the urge to just tape all five wires together? Is that suicide? Anyway will give this a shot tomorrow. I don’t have a retractable antenna but, the metra 40 antenna adapter was part of the required package so it must be doing something? I assumed it was needed so the...

    Connecting remote wire for powered sub?

    I SO want this to be the right answer. At this time the four blue and blue white wires are connected together so when you say clip, are you saying cut off the copper so they aren’t really connected (like if I just taped each one off individually)? And this includes the blue wire from the metro...

    Connecting remote wire for powered sub?

    Thanks. This is the PAC unit I used just in case: https://pdf.crutchfieldonline.com/ImageBank/v20201202090700/Manuals/541/541RP4TY11.PDF The pic of sony harness is below:

    Connecting remote wire for powered sub?

    Thanks. Haven’t tried anything yet. I’m a novice so trying to understand as much as possible before starting. Looked up the fuse box option and looks like I would need a piggy back adapter, which maybe I can grab from an auto part store. The only thing the videos I saw didn’t show is what...

    Connecting remote wire for powered sub?

    In both cases the remaining three wires stay together? FYI, my head unit has a blue white but no blue wire. And, I do have a factory amp if that matter.

    Connecting remote wire for powered sub?

    I’m not 100% sure but the diagram did not show a blue wire from Sony. So probably did not have one. So what does that mean for me again?

    Connecting remote wire for powered sub?

    When I installed my after market HU (using a PAC harness), the directions had me connecting 4 blue and blue/white wires together (see image below). The 2 blue wires appear to relate to the antenna and the two blue/white wires to the amp turn on. So now that I want to install the sub, I have...

    Basic question for wiring amplified subwoofer

    Apologies for not coming back to this post but had some family issues. I’ve done a little more research on connecting the sub and wiring kits and it looks like I’ll need to connect the rca cables (with Y connector), the ground cable, the power cable to batter (with fuse), and the remote on...

    Basic question for wiring amplified subwoofer

    Thanks for responding. As it turns out, it is a singe subwoofer out port. I guess I assumed the two rca ports were for the sub. Any insight on how it all works?

    Basic question for wiring amplified subwoofer

    Okay, please forgive me as I am a complete newbie. I picked up this used bazooka bta6100 (very cheap) which is amplified and comes with a wiring harness. As the story goes, just looking for a little extra bass and price too low to pass up. Anyway, I looked on crutchfield and it says I need...
