TTT!!!!!

 

alright
- the RCA inputs you probably wont be using since u dont have them at the back of your HU
- black - ground
- red - 12V + Battery
- blue(should be a male connector sticking out of your amp) is remote, run this from your 12V+ Battery and run a switch inline with it. this will give you the power to turn your amp on and off
- speaker output - to the sub
- the level **** is called your gain, this can control the "gain" you sub has over the rest of your speakers, higher gain will be louder, although itll make your amp work more and may distort

 

thanks but im still wondering one thing...where is the sound from the headunit ging to hook up to my amp to go to my sub?!?!? and the blue male coneector??? uhmm there isnt one? theres a orange wire coming from the power slot where the rest of the wires are coming from???

 

alright, since your HU doesn't have RCA outputs,

if your amp has high level input(meaning it will accept the speaker wires from the HU) then use that

if not, then you'll need to get a inline converter this will convert your speaker wires from the HU to RCA so u can plug those to ur amp

As for the orange wire, I'm not sure, but my guess would b the remote wire.
if the wire is smaller than the Red and the Black, then it's more than likely the remote. This wire is what turns the amp on. The red wire is to supply your amp with power straight from the battery, and the black wire is for ground.

arite thanks guys but yah im so stoopid i didnt bother to flip the unit over and notice the DAMN DIAGRAM! lol but yah there is no remote wire...the orange one is for the antenna? will this be the remote?or do i have to tap sumthing in there like a switch? but ive noticed the wires are pretty darn big...and oh yah my HU does have RCA's for the speakers only and i wanted to hook this up to one sub...so am i going to have to buy one of those Y adaptors and plug the RCA's that way?? thanks very much guys and i reallly do aprecciate the help!

 

TTT!!!!

 

If the Orange is for the "Power Antenna" then you can also use it as a remote turn on! Usually the remote turn on is a blue or light blue wire.
About your HU? Does it only have RCA's or does it also have seperate wires from the RCA's? What's the exact model # and such of your amp?

 

in the back of my HU theres 4 RCA's for the R + AND - same with the left...as for the amp its a unic amp i have no idea waht the S/N is b/c its used...TIA!

 

I didnt see where you said what kind of HU this is, unless i missed it. Seems like your HU needs an external amp to run any speakers at all. Since you say that you only have RCA's for the speaker connections, you will need to get a low pass converter / filter to run your sub off of the HU and this amp.

 

heres a pic of my HU im sorry once agen for the mis info here are the specs and pics

specs:

High Power 45W x 4
Detachable Front Panel
Single RCA Pre-Out
VU Meter
Front Input Jack for Portable Cassette/MD/MP3 Player
CD-R/RW Playback

Source Level Adjuster
Advanced H-Bass
THANKS AGAIN GUYS!

TTT!!!!!!

 

ok im confused,
you said you dont have sub outputs on the back of your deck, but you do have RCA's, how are you powering your speakers right now, are they all ran off an amp or somwthing? or is there 4 RCA's and speaker wires from the internal amp?
if thats what it is, just use one of the sets of RCA's for the sub

 

From the looks of your spec's you should be running the basic four speakers right off of the HU. Wether you are or not i am unsure. If not you may be missing the adapter that fits into the so-called "teeth" part of the HU. The Amp and Sub should run off of the Rear RCA's.
Also, i'm not sure if you have the HU manual, but if you don't have it try to look it up thru the AIWA website. Check the presets for running a Sub off of your HU. You may have to adjust a few settings within the HU.
Hope this helps.

 

lol arite im seeing that im not the only one confused but i figured it out and yes there are RCA's and they are not takin up..i thoguth they were...so i will be installing this amp once i get my car back...[in the shop getting my itr lip molded on]thanks alot guys! time to kill this post!
