alright, i finally have all my stuff together for my car, and i just wanna verify my info so i dont screw anything up that could be avoided.

would i run the ANT. REMOTE(from the HU) wire to the POWER CONTROL(on the amp) and the AMP REMOTE(HU) to the EXT. AMP CONTROL(amp)??

ext amp control is probably a separate remote you can buy so you can control your gain and freq cutoff from inside the car. I would leave that wire alone and just connect the HU remote wire to the amp remote wire like Ben said.

edit, btw you shouldn't have to use the ANT REMOTE either. There is usually 1 or 2 wires you don't need whenever you hook up a wiring harness.

splice the remote turn on lead from HU to amp remote. :)

^ what he said ^

though im guessing on your amp, the remote wire is called the power control. just try both ways if it still won't work. the HU turn on wire is low voltage like 5v, so you can't fry anything with it. You HU Remote turn on wire should be Blue-White

You can use ANT. REMOTE (from HU) or AMP REMOTE (from HU) to the AMP REMOTE (AMP).

Basically Amplifier has 3 connections, one to the positive lead +12v, one negative lead -12v (marked as ground, GND), and one amplifier remote control (REM, usually in the middle between +12v and -12v).

Amp Connection 101:

+12v = straight from the battery

-12v = straight from the car' body

REM = straight from the HU' ANT remote or HU' amp remote
