Question:

need help with amp wiring?

where does the thin blue wire from the amp go, i know it goes to the stereo but i dont know to what wire

Answer:

Its probably a power relay wire used to switch the amp on when the radio is turned on. The radio will have either an orange or yellow wire that is used to trigger a retractable antenna. If this is the case, connect your blue wire to this orange wire on the radio. Then when you power the radio the relay switch will activate the amp. If you do not have this option on your radio, you will have to manually wire a switch that is connected to your fuse box so that you can send 12 volts to that blue wire to activate the amp.
hook it up to ur little blue wire that says power antenna if not on there find somewhere on ur fuse panel that turns off and on when u turn on the key or wire it to toggle switch and then to the hot wire on the amp and u can turn the amp on and off anytime u like
It is connected to the remote signal output of the stereo. This signal activates your amp once you turn on your stereo.Some stereos label them as antenna signal for automatic antennas. Most often it is also the blue wire from the stereo, sometimes the color is blue with white stripe on the side.
the blue wire to the stereo it should say antenna on it
