Remote wire for amp

[Msenz]

I’m tryin to wire up my am right now and I can’t seem to find the blue remote wire anywhere. Have the head unit off on the swim platform and it’s definitely not there. Anyone have idea. If I can’t find it is it ok to tap off the 12v charger port that is at the helm?

Go behind the steering wheel storage. There is a blue remote wire there. The back of the boat is just a remote.

You were looking in the right place before. Your stereo is on the swim platform. The blue wire should be coming out of the same harness as the speaker wires - can you post a picture of that? If it’s totally gone it may be easier to just buy a new wiring harness.

But, some amps can be set to sense a signal coming through on the RCA inputs and use that for a turn on signal. If your amp has that function it may be worth trying.

i wouldn’t recommend tapping into another 12v source. It would technically work, but it will stay on even if you turn the stereo off unless you run it through a switch. This could lead to unexpected battery drain.

Well it must be there - it’s where all the speaker wires and power wire connect but the extra wires are missing. Here is a diagram that explains everything on the back of the head unit.
