Hi I'm new here and I'm wondering if anyone has put a amp to the stock radio? If so what wire do you use for the amp remote on/off and how do you get the radio out? Thanks in advance for any help

Well, i installed an amp to run my subwoofer, and I found a spare fuse in the fuse box under the hood that has power only with the ignition on, which you want unless you would like your amp to stay on all of the time...

I am not sure why you are wanting to take the radio out, I am guessing for RCA cables? Well, don't bother because you won't find RCA jacks on a stock radio. Go to an A/V store and get yourself a low-line convertor, which takes your signal from the speaker wires and converts them to the proper signal for your amp. This will have to do until a stereo installation kit comes out for the 04 Solara. Not the best way, but about the only way for now. Hope this helps.

Its a 04 Solara. How do do you use the spare fuse as the remote source. I've never done it that way.

Sorry to bring back this old topic, but does anyone know of another place to connect the remote wire?

I'm gonna be installing the amp/sub with a friend, and would like to hammer the details out before we start...

Nevermind, I guess :)

Found _some_ possible locations in another thread... cigarette lighter... sideview mirror... anything I can find... :)
