Power for a 2nd reciever?
Tuesday, April 12, 2005 6:13 PM
I need to get power for a second reciever, I have a orange and a black line that runt o a light in my glove box, can i use those as a positive and a ground? And then where is the best spot to find a ACC line to use? The receiver is in the glove box (pretty much) So I'd liek to stay close to there, and I believe that the Reciever pulls it's power through the ACC line.

Is the light in the glove box a positive negative hook up? (it's a 94 z24) cause i remember working on a switch with the overhead light and it was 2 negatives or soemthing screwey.....

Thanks

wtf?

No... don't use that...

Just run wires from your existing radio over..

If its an aftermarket deck:

Yellow- constant
black- ground
red- acc.

I can not pull enough power to run both aftermarket decks off the stock radio harness....I also thought the Red was the Constant and the yellow the switched....Atleast that is how they have all worked in the past.

Why wouldn't you be able to get enough power for both decks? You should be fine doing that. And yes, the yellow is the constant (memory) wire and the red is switched.

I can't tell you why I can't get enough power, guess i'm just unwilling to put a 30 amp fuse in there and toast one of the headunits. I'll have to go back and double ceck my wiring then....It shouldn't work the other way right? (well it will but I'll have to set the time every time i turn them on...)

is there any wires on the passenger side i can use?
