Hi folks I have been trawling through the posts and used the search function a few times and got a bit of info but I was hoping someone would be able to point me in the right direction for more info.

I need to know which wire on the factory 6 stacker is used for the remote amp turn on.

Any info would be greatly appreciated :-)

I've installed amps before - just never in a 380

That info is here somewhere, I'll go looking, there was amp turn on out of the factory system, the guys used another 12 v trigger wire.

12 Volt cigarette lighter wire was suggest here, works on Accs +.

Cheers for the info guys. I should have posted the question last night and used the answers today haha. I used pin 11 which is basically a 12v ignition wire. I used a high to low level converter and while it still has some tuning to do it sounds pretty good. The factory splits in the 380 actually pump when you put a good amp through them. I'm using a pioneer "600w" amp (not sure of the real RMS value but its higher than the deck).

I got a bit of engine noise buzzing too from the level converter so have to check that out. Ultimately now I would like to get a different deck that has usb and aux etc but this should do for now

Update 14/05/12 - noise suppressor from Jaycar $9.95 fixed the engine noise :)
