Adding additional (Sub) Amp after Alpine Upgrade

OrlandoVol · 07-09-2015, 10:10 AM

Hey guys, I'm in the middle of my install...

Quick question: I need a 12v source for the REMOTE in on my JL 500/1 amp which I've installed onto the back of the rear seat. I have the Alpine upgrade installed as well. The Alpine amp is about 2 feet away -- and I'd like to tap into it to get a remote input for the JL Amp. Can I tap into one of the 3 "12V" Red wires going into the Alpine Harness? (Top Right corner of harness in picture)

If anyone could help me out, I'd really appreciate it!

use the same remote source for both amps. if you tap into a constant 12v source, than your amp will always be on.
