Speaker/Amp Upgrade

I have an Amp/Sub box that I want to put in the trunk. Blacknite has his signal line to power up the amp running to the front of the car. Has anyone figured a way to turn it on from the back, where a line doesn't have to go up to the stereo?

If you run with your lights on all the time put it to one of your pariking lights.

Oh... Wasn't clear.

Not power, I have a line already for that.
I mean the "signal" line that tells the Amp to power up.

Works the same way...think of how a relay works.

An aftermarket stereo will have this output as I'm sure you already know.

Yeah thats what I was talking about something that is 12 volts....Taillights are something I've seen those wired to as they are keyed so you don't leave your amp on 24/7. (And if you need to be quiet turn your lights off. )

Well if you really just don't want to mess with running a remote turn on wire to the head, you could always splice off the power antenna in the trunk. There are also switches that basically "listen" for audio and provide a turn on signal whenever they hear it.

Switches that listen? Now that sounds good, since it's to run a sub only!
eBay, here I come!!

Thanks!!

I don't know if I'd bother with Ebay for this. http://www.sjgreatdeals.com/pactr4.html
The link is just for reference, I've never ordered from them, but I'm sure you can find a local shop who sells one of these.
