Red03SillSS Posted February 19, 2007 Report Share Posted February 19, 2007 Get a PAC adapter. It plugs into your stock amp and it works from there. I think the rem wire is pink?? I cant remember. If you dont have a PAC adapter I have one I will seel you they are like 60 bucks brand new. I never used it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
n2opwr Posted February 19, 2007 Report Share Posted February 19, 2007 Surely there is another way to run a remote wire w/o having to spend $60 on a adapter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stylintoys Posted February 20, 2007 Report Share Posted February 20, 2007 find a 12v circuit that only turns on then the key is on, tap into that. if you want, you can even stick the wire in with the fuse. i just got my ss, but if the cigarrette lighter only works with the key on, you can tap onto that power wire easy. i don't know if i explained that very well, if not i can try to clear it up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fast4popper Posted February 20, 2007 Report Share Posted February 20, 2007 Pink wire behind the radio. or at the bose amp in the center console. either way its gonna turn on with the deck.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pimp ss Posted February 20, 2007 Report Share Posted February 20, 2007 pull the bottom of the dash off and find the big brown wire it is on with the key its on the left hand side on the back of the fuse block. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crawlinss Posted May 17, 2007 Report Share Posted May 17, 2007 just noted youre from rochelle, i come out there for work every now and again.....youve got some good roads out there by the global III railyard i literally just got done putting in the pac24 adaptor, and trying to find a remote out wire is sort of tricky with this class II data shit. if youre testing with a meter, the radio will have to be plugged in to get a real reading fyi. also, unless youre going to use speaker level inputs (no rca cables) there is no other way that i know of to hook subs to the stock bose. im a little unhappy with the sub output, but even with the kenwood i had in for a few days, i didnt like it, i think my subs and amp are different ohms, im going to have to check it out in a few minutes.

NoLegs Posted May 17, 2007 Report Share Posted May 17, 2007 All the radio chit is triggered off 6V as far as I can tell. The amp I'm using won't trigger off 6V, so I took a regular old Bosch relay and used it to trigger my amp (12V constant thru relay, 6V off the radio to trigger the relay). I originally just used 12V ACC, but was irritated when the subs cut off when I killed the truck and the radio was still playing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mastergunsx15 Posted May 17, 2007 Report Share Posted May 17, 2007 another way to run a remote wire would be to find any 12v source and run it from there off of a switch. you can pick up a small toggle switch at any auto parts store for a couple of dollars. all you will need is a 12v source, the switch, and the remote wire to the amp. if you get a lighted switch, you will also need a ground. you can mount the switch under the dash or somewhere hidden.
