remote turn on for amps
okay here is the main question i have at this point, right now i have a pioneer avic-n2 that i am going to sell, when i do im going to put in an lcd and my compaq laptop, now i know how to hook up the rca cables but how do i connect the remote turn on for the amps? The wire from the headunit that tells the amps to turn on. Is there another wire i can use or maybe something off the gm harness that i wont be using?

See post above, but also whatever will be triggering the auto/air plug to go hot could also trigger the amp. |

any keyed 12v source will turn the amp on. find something that is controlled by the key and tap into it.

well i couldnt get it to work either way, so i used the 12v wire from the radio to power it, i installed a switch so that i can turn the amps on/off so i wait until the computer has loaded before i turn it on

I'm turning my amp on using the j6 jumper on a m2-atx and I don't have the ground pin hooked up to anything. The RMT pin runs straight to the turn on lead on the amp. It works great; The m2-atx delays turning on the amp for a couple seconds so you don't get any amplifier pop when it turns on.

using a molex to remote the amp
hi,
can i use a 12v from a molex connector to send the signal to the amp?
i have a faulty m2-atx with a fried J6 transistor, then im thinking to use this as a regular psu. i'd like to confirm if when the mobo is turned off the 12v rail of the molex connector is energized or not? 
thanks, |
