Quick wiring question w/ pic
The white/blue wire on the left is from my kenwood HU, the blue/white wire on the right is from the metra harness.
The left wire was labeled, P Cont. and the right one according to the labeling chart is the amp turn on. My question is does it matter which wire I connect my remote turn on wire from my amp to? Since I think they both do the same thing. http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y24...0105-00040.jpg |
I think P cont means power is on even if the car is off..
from the HU I'm gusssing its switched, only on if car is on or in accessory position. I don't think you want power to your amp all the time. Put a voltmeter on them to see what you have. Or call Crutchfield....they are good tech help. |

You can wire the antenna adapter to this wire if you want. It will not harm anything just will have the antenna on even if your playing a CD. Some head units only have that wire and no powered antenna wire. If you have a powered antenna wire I would use that. However note that sometimes the powered antenna wire does not supply enough voltage. |

So since the P Cont is always on with the head unit, it'd be fine to connect my remote turn on wire from my amp to it right? |
I was half right..... A side question, you said that tap might not provide enough voltage, so it might be less than 12 volts?....or did you mean current? A power audio amp would draw a lot more current than a low gain op amp circuit in the antenna.
