    just use single strand speaker wire mate. its just copper conductor. obviously crimped/soldered to avoid fires!!

    You don't have a remote wire on the head unit ?
    Run a wire from somewhere that only operates when the ignition is switched on .
    This is just an example , obviuosly your amp wont work unless ignition is on .
    I canny invest in ya and for that reason , I'm oot .

    oh, i thought he meant there was no remote wire in the amp wiring kit. ie. there is a remote wire coming off the wiring loom for the head unit, but no way of connecting it to the amp in the boot?!

    check the loom to your radio and look for a blue wire that is normally remote wire , check with volt meter when you turn the radio on whether the blue gives a 12v, Paul

    Solder?
    Crimp terminals?
    Scotch block?
    Cut the shielding off, twist the copper together and wrap in selotape?

    easiest way, cut the blue wire, crimp a terminal to it the crimp your remote wire to that then put insulation tape round or one of them heat shrink wraps.

    what i do to test if the sub works is have everything linked up but the remote wire then push the remote wire by the side of the blue wire at the back of the head unit so it is touchin the metal bit inside and if it works pull the iso out of the block and use pliers to push the metal bit out and get it onto that and put it back in .. good luck tho buddy hope to hear what goes on soon
