so i got a few questions. on my 2000 chevy cavalier i got my audio system upgraded but toke it to a shop to get done i am ready to hook up a amp and woof but wanna do it my self to save a few hundred bucks as i was observing my car where to put stuff at i notice a blue wire that is going from where it looks like from my radio to my fuse box on the driver side and is hooked up to a fuse. what is that? and if its the remote wire can i hook up the remote wire for the amp with that blue wire to or is that to much?
The remote wire should be running from your amp, to your radio fuse. Just strip the wire and wrap it around the fuse and place it back in. That is the correct way to hook it up.
There shouldnt be a wire going to your fuse box... They should have reused the stock harness and all of its connections. There should be a remote wire that comes off the deck and it is generally a Blue wire, but its never long enough to reach the fuse box. I am guessing thats a power wire. You will need to run a set of preouts and a remote wire from the head unit to the amp. You will also need to wire power to the amp.
There should be a block in that fuse panel marked auxiliary or aux. That will be the 12V power conx but I advise you to be safe and let the pros do the job for you.
