So I need a lil help. Im almost finished with the Amp install got all the wires tucked and threaded to the rear.

Only issues is for my 09 WRX I am unsure with wires i need to tap into for antenna power and speaker. Its the base model so I have not oem sub just 4 speakers.

SO questions is....
What color wire is the antenna power for the switch power to the amp
What color wires do I tap for the speakers?

Any help?

 

I vaguely remember when I wired mine, you have brown, brown with white stripe, green and green with white stripe are speaker wires.
As for the remote wire I remember testing a bunch of wires with a voltmeter.
I'll take a look at mine pretty soon and let u know

 

+12 Accessory Yellow/Red
Left Rear Speaker – Red/Black
Left Rear Speaker + White/Red
Left Front Speaker – White/Black
Left Front Speaker + Blue/Orange
Antenna Booster Yellow/Black
Ground Black/Blue
Right Rear Speaker – Red/White
Right Rear Speaker + Gray/Green
Right Front Speaker – Green
Right Front Speaker + Brown/Yellow
+12V Battery (Constant-on) Blue/Red

hook up remote turn on to accessory.

 

I tried the accessory wire which is the antenna amplifier which worked for the radio only. but i hooked it up to the illumination wire which fixed the issue.

 

?? :X

accessory should be triggered with the key turned to "acc" position.
as for illumination, i'm guessing it works because of day time running lights.

whatever works though

 

ya fail again. Now its making popping noises. Humm. IDK I guess i can try the accesory wire

 

tap into an acc/ign wire (u should get 12v when the key is in the "acc" or "on" position) for ur remote rather than the ant wire. ur amp wont turn on b/c it's for tuner. there is no need for the ant if ure listening to a cd...

also maybe turn down ur high/low converter/line output converter a little and also make sure u have a good ground fort amp. wherever ur ground is, did u scrape the paint off to get contact w/ bare metal?

 

no. that might be why im getting the popping noise i guess

 

Ur amp can be/going bad as well... the pop coming just from the sub right? Not all ur door speakers or where u tapped in to the speaker wire?

 

im tapped into a rear speaker wire and ya its just the sub thats popping. could it also be it needs to be grounded better?
