I would use some new wire, preferring the black kind to the other colors.
Use what is called bell wire or thermostat wire.
Usually the remote wire is the blue wire. Although not all CD players have a remote wire. The easy way to find out if you're player has a remote wire is to go onto the manufacturer's website and check the spec's.
You only need the remote wire if you have an external amp.
Yes a remote wire is necessary. You must wire the remote wire from the amp to and ignition source of power (a component which turns on when the ignition in the car is engaged.) i.e. the radio. The remote wire signals for the amp to power on.
# 6 wire
AWG # 10 wire.
You need to look at the regulations that apply in your country. If in doubt, use a neutral wire of the same size as the live wire or wires.
10-32 unf-2a <<>> The wire size does not need to be calculated. Use a wire terminal end that crimps to the wire. These terminal end come in various wire sizes and bolt hole sizes. Pick the correct end for the wire size you are using and then in that wire size range, pick the correct bolt hole size that fits the bolt.
remote wire is to control amp, bass coming from subs, and the frequency
Why bypass amp just get wiring diagram and hook up remote"blue wire" to the remote lead from factory amp. Or unplug amp use a meter and check which wire has power. Then turn off radio and check wire again should have no power with radio off. This will only work if factory radio is still installed. But that wire would be remote wire. Just hook up new radio remote wire to the found wire. Then connect speakers to factory plugs and use the amp.
If you are hooking up an amp, you have to run your own remote wire or branch off the antenna power wire.
