VE Amp wiring trouble

[zamaddness]

Hay I'm in direr need of advise, I have wired my amp and sub up correctly, but the control wire (accessory wire) I borrowed from the brown/yellow wire (handsfree set??) in the driver side central panel, this wire should be live when the ignition is switched on.. however it the wire is dead as a doorknob, I checked fuses in boot yet nothing is there a fuse for this wire

same situation here too. Amp manual says I gotta wire the remote cable into an ignition wire. Not too keen on that....I can still use the stereo without turning the ignition but the amp will not turn on until I turn on the ignition......gunna try 'n search for another cable to use as a remote wire.......there are several wires in the connector where the speaker cables are so I might try to tap into one of those.Hmmmmm.What amp do you have ? Mine is an alpine - pdx v9. Thanx.

if you want the amp on when ignition on/ not with all lights on dash illuminated (next turn is to start) use the smokers pack connection it has power from ign, ground/earth/and illumination, its just to the left of the stereo connection and mounts to the frame, just below where no2 is shown
behind where the panel is shown removed by your left leg, you will find a white pug, it has acc power, light power, and earth the plug slides out of its holder/keeper so you can check what is what, one of the easiest to get to

just got back from shopping.......about to start on it ......will get back......

No......no go. This is the brown/yellow cable from the youtube video but it does nothing for me.Works for other people but not for me ??????? Tried using the grey wires but no go.

I wonder how zammaddness is getting along with this....I'm on the verge of getting an installer to sort it for me.Maybe there's something wrong with the amp - is there any easy enough way of testing it ?
Did I say that I'm using a LOC though I'm thinking this shouldn't matter.

All good now. Found out the problem. Connections weren't good - wire joiners - preinsulated type wasn't giving a good connection so had to fix it .....all good now. a big thanx though .
