having trouble installing amp and sub

[kimjongok]

hey what up guys...

i got a 05 chevy tahoe with factory HU with 1 disc

and im in progress installing systems...

 

i used a 0 gauge wire for power wire... through the firewall ( big 2 inch grommet for side brake )

and i used the rca convertor from 2 rear speakers left (Yellow, Brown) and right (light blue, dark blue)

 

it was kind a easy till now

 

but im having trouble connecting remote turn on wire... is it gray or pink ? i found a solid pink and stripe pink... which wire is for remote turn on wire for amp ??

 

i connect the ground wire through the compartment box ?? which is located on left side of the trunk where it stores the lift jack

 

im not really sure that bolt is connected to the chassis...

is there any other place ??

 

last question...

 

i dont know where to put the fuse holder...

any suggestion ???

 

thank you

On my 04 there isn't a turn on wire, it is controlled through the data bus. I found a fuse that turned on and off with the key and used that.

The data bus is how gm turns the radio on and off. Basically it always has power to it, the data bus controls the on and off.

 

I used one of the seat mounting bolts for the ground.

 

My amps all have fuses on them, so I placed the fuse for the amp right at the battery.

You should drill a hole, near your amp install, for a dedicated grounding bolt. Make sure to sand the paint off around the hole and use lock washers and a tight fitting bolt. I sprayed the exposed bolt under the truck with primer to inhibet rust. This makes for a much better ground than any existing bolt. I tried using an existing bolt for grounding my two amps and got alot of noise ( alternator whine). Changing the ground took care of the problem. I even ran the ground from the deck to the same bolt. Good luck!

I just installed an Infinity Basslink in my truck yesterday using a PAC line out converter. The instructions indicated to tap in to the pink wire of the head unit harnass for switch power. The wire number is R-3. It works great. My amp turns on/off as it should.

 

As for grounding, I just lossened one of the rear seat mounting bolts, slid the ground terminal under the bolt and tightened. Works fine.
