What does the REM wire do?

WHAT DOES THE REMOTE TURN ON WIRE DO? ... When the ignition of the vehicle is turned off, the remote turn on wire stops transferring voltage and the amplifier turns off. If the remote turn on wire is connected to a wire in the vehicle that has constant voltage, the amplifier will always be on.

Where do I connect the remote wire for my amp?

The turn-on wire (also called the remote wire) is located behind the stereo. On aftermarket stereos, it's usually a blue and white wire. The remote wire will "tell" your amplifier to turn on whenever the stereo is powered up (usually, whenever the vehicle is turned on).

Is remote wire and speaker wire the same?

Speaker wires can be used as remote wires. It doesn't matter what kind of wire you use for a remote wire. Any copper wire will work when used as a remote wire. Since most speaker wires are made of copper metal, they can be used for remote wiring.

Can you bypass remote wire on AMP?

Simple, the remote wire usually senses ignition or accessory on. You can bypass this by just linking the remote to the main incoming 12V supply. This will make the unit permanently on. Make sure you have some other way of isolating it or you'll have a flat battery.

What Is REM subwoofer?

It stands for Remote, AMPs are kind of like TV sets, you can plug it in but unless you click the power button nothing will happen. So, rem, is the power button. You need to either go to you Head Unit (deck) and splice the wire into the remote trigger or go to your fuse box and use the IGN or ACC fuse.

What is SWC connector?

What is a SWC interface? SWC is an acronym standing for Steering Wheel Control. An SWC interface is a module that connects a vehicle's OEM steering wheel controls with an aftermarket headunit or radio replacement unit.

Is power antenna the same as remote?

Almost every aftermarket head unit has a remote turn on wire. Some manufacturers call it a power antenna wire. But regardless of the label all it does is output a positive 12 volts when the head unit is turned on. It should be noted that some head units have both a remote turn on wire and a power antenna wire.

What is the best fuse for remote wire?

Amperage off the remote turn on isn't very high. Doesn't require much to switch amps/etc on. A 3-5 amp fuse should be more then enough.

Can you run a remote wire to a speaker wire?

you can use speaker wire for that. Just run the remote wire off your other amp. any copper wire will work it doesnt matter how old or new it is. just find some old copper wire and use it.

Does speaker wire need to be copper?

Copper is the most widely used material for speaker cable due to its low cost and low resistance. ... Gold however does not oxidise so it can be used for open terminations but as it has a higher resistivity to copper or silver it is rarely used as speaker cable.

Are speaker wires too thick?

Speaker wires can't be too thick because thicker wire means lower resistance, more signal flow, and better sound quality. Although not every setup needs a thick wire and the wire thickness depends on the speaker's impedance and the distance between the sources, you can't have too much of it.

Will an amp turn on with a bad ground?

a bad ground (or no ground) would prevent an amplifier from turning on. not connecting a 12v+ remote turn on wire, would too, prevent an amplifier from turning on. a blown fuse from a spark will prevent an amplifier from turning on. just a personal note: take off the ground (from the battery) first before installation.

What gauge is remote turn on wire?

Remote Turn-On Wire: Gauge: 18 AWG. Wire Construction: Oxygen Free Copper (16 strands)
