Alright... that's all the new stuff

First thing I'm confused about is the wiring... I look at the wiring harness that came with the CD Player and read the Manual

These are the wires that confuse me...

Blue/White (Power Control Wire) When using the optional power amplifier, connect to its power control terminal

Blue (Motor antenna control wire) Depending on what antenna you are using, connect either to the control terminal of the motor antenna, or to the power terminal for the booster amplifier of the fils type antenna

I have a power antenna

Pink/Black (External Amplifier control wire) To "EXT.AMP.CONT." terminal of the amplifier having the external amp control function


I know an amp needs a remote turn on ... I've read that its the blue wire... So is it the blue one or the blue/white one?


What does this Pink/Black wire do? I have RCA Patch Cables to hook up from the amp to the back of the Head Unit to control the speakers. Do I have the wrong idea about the patch Cables and I'm supposed to use the Pink/Black wire instead?


Last but not least... Since I have TWO Amps... how can I hook both up so that I can control both from the Headunit? I know the Infinity ones speaks about daisy-chaining but haven't got a clue what it means.

Thanks for any and all help you can provide.

You use the blue/white wire for a remote turn on. Ignore the pink/black one.

Daisy chaining is easy. Tale the remote wire and hook it up to one amp. Now take a piece of wire and connect this amps remote turn on lead to the other amps turn on lead.

will I be able to control both amps from the headunit?

Thanks for the quick reply!

What do you mean control? What are you trying to control?

ok so I use the blue/white wire as the remote turn on wire...i splice it and hook it up to the 2nd amp also ok I got that much.

Now as far as being able to control the Amps with the headunit...??

Control the Fade, Balance and things like that


If a song has more bass than I want I can turn it down on the Head Unit rather than on the amp itself

See all of my speakers will be hooked up to the 4 channel amp not directly to the head unit. So I need to be able to control the trebel mid bass and all those things from the head unit...

I was wanting to find out how I can control Both amps with the head unit.

Yes, yes, you control all of that from the headunit. If you want to control everything seperate, you just need 3 pairs of RCAs - front, rear, and sub.
