Hey guys, I'm new here and just got a 2006 Dodge Ram Regular Cab 1500 Sport. I love the truck, and for now can only afford to install a 12" sub and amp I had in my last car. I have it all figured out except for 2 things:

1: Where is the best place to hook up the remote turn-on wire at the deck (stock deck)? The large plug coming from the back of the deck doesn't have a wire in the spot where the remote turn-on would be, I've verified it delivers 12 volts in that socket when I turn on the radio. Is there ANY other location I could get the same effect? Could I get an OEM style pin somewhere, crimp it on my amp's remote wire, then insert it into that socket? Am I over-thinking this? I want to do it right.

2: In a regular cab, with the amp under the passenger seat, would the rear speakers have the closest wires to get an input signal from? Thanks. ANY advice would be great, my brain is kind of fried after getting to this point.

 

first check to see if your amp has a current sensing or auto on feature
this will allow the amp to power up just with the input signal and not need the remote 12v+

If not - then yes you could just source a 12v+wire with key on- from the fuse panel area
