Amp Turn-on Wire - Oscar The Grouch - 04-09-2005
I decided today, since it was soo nice outside and my frickin cold is pretty much beat, to install my old Alpine 300w amp and Pioneer 10" sub.
Anywho, so I get working on it, removed the stereo, hooked up the wires, and lo and behold, I notice that the Amp Turn-on wire has no connection in the car's wiring harness.
Amp--->Wire adapter--->wire harness(missing Amp Turn-on connection)
So now i'm up on my computer looking for any posts regarding fixing this problemo, but no luck so far. :iono:
I'm also looking at the stereo wire diagram in my Haynes manual for the Focus and I was thinkin about splicing the Acc wire (Yellow/Green wire), one lead to the stereo and another to the amp.
Arg... anyways, have any of you guys encountered this problem?

Yeah just splice the acc wire. I had to do that on one of my old decks, works fine.

I added the amp turn on wire into the factory wires, im at work now, but when i get home, I can tell you which wire I used, Hint, it was not in the harness, I had to insert it into an empty hole and join it to the existing wires.

Now that you've got your DEH-1300 in, I guess it's not an issue anymore eh? ;)

Still gotta get the amp installed. I think I'll bring it to Shark to do all the wiring. God I hate ripping up carpet.... Well car carpet that is. ;)

Crap. I got the system installed yesterday.
Although if ya do have the pictures and diagrams, it might be a nice little sticky for the ICE section to help anyone else.
Thanks nonetheless for the offer Microbunny. :)
