i have put my headunit in connected everything all the standard speakers are working but there is no power going to the amp, i checked all battery connections is fine, the only wire i got left unconnected is the REMOTE wire coming from the amp to the back of the headunit, but i got no place to connect it to the headunit do i need the REMOTE cable connted for the amp to power up?

 

yep u need the remote wire connected as it sends a small voltage to the amp to turn it on. if its an aftermarket headunit it should have one. might be blue, blue and white or pink and white?

or for a temp fix put a small bit of wire from the battery wire on the amp to the remote bit on amp and it will work but permently be on aswell as draining the battery

 

no my stereo does not have a connection, what about on the iso block?

 

have you got anyloose wires that dont go in to the iso? what headunit is it

can u get a pic of the wires?

 

i got a brown and a pink loose wire they both have MUTE written on them

 

if u got a manuel for it look in the wiring diagram and it should say what colur and where to find it. the brown is tele mute for the handsfree, try the pink one as the remote

 

no manuals unfrotunately, i tried touching the remote metal with the brown and the pink and still got nothing. do most aftermarket stereos have the connection on the back of it and how would i know if i say bought one off ebay?

 

put a pic up of the back of the stereo fella

 

The remote wire is usually a blue one off the back of the headunit, failing that wire it onto the switched live with a 1 amp inline fuse

 

im currently at work so cant put a pic up, but i got the model number which is

JVC KDS570 http://www.savinglots.com/lotprod.asp?item=KDS570

its not a super expensive one

 

i found this manual

http://resources.jvc.com/Resources/0...T0003-002C.pdf

on the diagram of the back wiring it has a bit called "REAR GROUND TERMINAL" would that be somethnig im looking for?

 

It will defo have a remote on wire mate,put a tester on any wires you have remaining 1 by 1 and c if you get a live feed of it when you turn stereo on if you get a pos feed of one of the wires you will find that would be the wire.Theres normally a wiring diagram on the top of stereos nowerdays anyway so check that aswell.

 

according to that manual it should be a blue and white wire for automatic antenna.Thats the wire fella

 

the thing is the iso i put in is one bought from a shop says sony on it but works for jvc too, its not the orginal harness unit that came with the stereo

 

As i said before,turn stereo on then test each wire you have remaining to see witch one has a positive when stereo is on,that will be youre remote wire.

 

can u jus touch the amps remote wire wit all what i can till it turns on :P as im at work, mind you i work in a hotel and maintencance cupboard is open haha :P

 

Its the blue wire with the white tracer on it if that manuals right. with either have antenna or p-cont written on it.

 

Not a very good thing to do just incase you blow somethin,just get a test light or voltmeter and you will be sorted.

 

Hes not using the standard wires davey hes using a sony iso plug instead so wire colours are different

 

im a nightmare lol, but o well idiots like me find answers from forums like this

 

let us know how you get on fella

 

k i jus took the loom out for a min i got a blue wire that says power antenna, but once i plug it into the iso i have nowhere to get the metal touching? lol

 

well i connected the remote wire to the antenna wire that comes out the back of the harness and still nothing

 

Is it gettin a live when you turn stereo on??

 

i would of thought so lol

 

If the wire is getting a live feed and your amp isnt working then i would pressume its youre amp and not your head unit.Have you checked the fuse/fuses in your amp??

 

ye the fuse is good, i got 2 fuse holders near the battery is that usual coz on my last car only had one

 

You say youve got 2 fuse holders next to your battery,have you checked to see if there are any fuses on the amp?? Also you have got a permanent power and earth to amp?? Has your amp got a power light? if so put a piece of wire from + on amp to the remote turn on on the amp,if the amp is working this should power the amp up to check if its not a fooked amp.

 

ill give that a go , yes the fuse on the actual amp is good

 

If your amp powers up you will have to check your remote wire is getting a live feed when you turn your stereo on,if it is then you must have a break in the remote wire from your stereo to amp.

 

yes!!! the amp powered up all the lights come on, but while trying i blown the fuse because i touched the other metal bit the negative i think, so replaced fuse and i did it again so will be fuses in morninand have another play

 

i solved it, i connected the remote to the 12v live red wire, now when stereo comes on amp comes on when stereo goes off stereo goess off awesome, but still got another problem lol

so i got the amp working and managed to get the sub working too, but the 6x9's got no sound coming from them. behind my dash i have like 4-5 leads coming from the amp. like 1 black 2 red 2 white, but on the back of my stereo i only have a slot for one white and one red????? any ideas?

 

You only need to use the red and the white one,if need be buy two rca splitters so you can put two red and two white into the back of your stereo.Personally i would amp the front speakers with the sub amp you shouldnt need to just use the stereo wires to front speakers and amp the sub.

 

the 6x9s are wired into the amp

 

you will only need two rca's one red witch is right side and white witch is left.

 

i been told i need to swap 2 wires around on the iso connection i bought, whats this all about???

 

It may be the red wire and yellow wire you need to switch over as on some iso blocks you do but only if the stereo isnt holding its memory when switched off ie.loosing its radio stations when you have already programed them in,if there ok then you shouldnt have to change any wires on the iso block.
