Get a voltage tester with a point that you can pierce wires with and find a hot wire that is only hot when the key is on and wire the amp to that.

What do you do with the CD player remote wire?

The Remote wire is for the installation of an amplifier. When you install the amp, you have a power (+12V) and ground wire to power the amp, but if you did not have a remote wire, it would drain all of your battery power while you were away from the car (because it would continually suck energy from it); however, without the remote signal coming from the CD player, the amp does not turn on. Does that answer your question? Basically, unless you're installing an amp, don't mess with it.


How do you connect subwoofer?

Wire the subwoofer to and AMP and the amp has to be directly hooked up to your battery. There is a second wire that is hooked up to a wire that only has power when the keys are turned. This turns the Amp on by turning on a relay in the amp powering the sub. And connect the ground to something steel in the car.

How do you hook up two car stereo amplifiers one to each sub in there own box can you run a power wire out of one amp over to the other amp?

Do you mean the main power from the battery or the remote turn on? If you mean the battery power, usually amp add on kits come with distributor blocks. You make one run of power wire from the battery to somewhere close to your amps. Then, hook that wire to the block, and run a new piece of wire from the block to each amp. If you mean the turn on lead, just make one run from the head unit to the first amp, and then run another piece from the first amp to the second.

What's the best way to install a subwoofer box and amp in an Oldsmobile Alero?

If you have an after-market head unit, it will be easier. You need RCA audio cables, speaker wire and some pretty thick wire for you power connection. First, you should take out the stereo and plug in your RCA cables (red to red and white to white)and then plug those into your amp as well. Then you need to find the wire marked Acc. on the wires in the back of your stereo. connect a pretty long wire to this wire. This will be plugged into your remote on your amp. The next thing you need to do is plug your thick cable into your positive side of your car battery and plug the other side into your power on your amp. The last thing you need to do for your amp is put a wire from the ground on your amp to a screw in your car that is unpainted and connected to the chassis. If everything else is hooked up correctly, you might need to play with the ground wire as this is usually the problem area. Then plug speakers into the appropriate places on the amp and box (Pos. to pos. and neg. to neg.) Make sure the amp turns off when your car does or you could drain your battery.

How do you hook up a amp in a car?

buy a wire kit with thick enough wires for the amp.. It should have the instructions but heres the basics.. thick wire goes to battery from amp and you need to drill a hole through firewall (usually under carpet buy you gas and break pedals) to run it and it should have a inline fuse.. RCA wires go from amp back of radio a wire from amp ground need to be connected to a large metal part of your car. memory wire needs to hook to a power source that's only on when your cars on that way your amp does not kill your car battery when you park. and then connect all the speakers.
