wired the car up just waiting for a fuse at the moment.. should have it later today. but i wanted to run the system from standard headunit just to keep my CD changer. but i got confused as to what to do with my remote wire. will it be needed? and if so where do i put it. and just in case you need to know what amps im running its these

there are a few threads on how to wire up the standard hu, but it is a lot easier to replace with aftermarket...with regards to the remote wire, that is for compatible hu's with subwoofer control, so the standard hu doesn't use it in your case

you need to attach the remote wire to the ignition feed on the radio.
you may find connecting it to the ignition feed on the headunit may cause the sub to "pop" upon start up due to turning on at the same time as the headunit,this will cause no damage but is annoying.aftermarket headunits have a delay on the remote to stop this.you can fit a delayed relay to stop this
