Looking For a constant power on HU

[jcvett56]

Scenario: I'm keeping stock head unit and installing sub.
Issue: I need a wiring diagram, which I've seen on here recently, to see which wire is the power wire. I've searched and cant find it, I need this for my REM wire for the amp.

If any one knows for sure that it's the top right red wire then please help or if you know where the diagram is located post it up!
Thanks in Advance

oh sorry i misread your post.... i would think red is 12v power.. but not 100% sure.. bump

that's what I thought. I would test it but i don't' know how it works with the CD player being out and the Anti-Theft.

Just tap into any wire that comes on with the ignition. Shoot if necessary (not recomended) you can tap right off a fuse. If someone else doesnt respond to this within a few days i will take the time to go look in my car for something easily tappable and provide you a pic.

I am almost finished and i went ahead and looked off of some other hondas factory harnesses

every honda had a yellow/blk power wire

This is the one i am trying i'll let you know

[jcvett56]

HMM.. new issue
WOW got it done and now the amp won't turn off :( WTF mate
now i guess i have to find another wire for the REM to run off of.

The wire i chose was the yellow/blk wire from the head unit wiring any other suggestions?

You are not gonna try topower that sub with that wire you are looking for are you?

You will need to run to the battery.

If You Dont Have A Dmm To Find A Good Sorce At The Fuse Panel You Can Use Your Cig Lighter Because That Only Gets Power When The Key Is On

no I have the battery ran but I need the REM

I'll do the cigarette lighter, I wasn't even thinking of that

Yeah, I don't know that there is a remote wire per say, there is a switched lead for the power antenna (we have an amplified antenna) but I don't know if it shuts off when a CD is inserted (AM/FM off)

i *think* i used the red wire in the head unit harness.

i have to turn my headlights on to turn my amp on, but i drive with my headlights on all the time. no bass is a reminder that my lights aren't on.
