Default Kenwood and PBR 300x2 problem
Hey guys I just recently upgraded the HU to a kenwood KDC-BT958HD, I am running 2 PBR 300x2. This unit has 3 rca outputs front, back and sub. I thought it would be a better sound quality using the RCAs. I'm also using hua360. I am not getting any input using the rca cables? Neither amp is turning on. So I used the speaker wires coming out of the HU and the amps work? I'm missing something? Thanks kevin

By remote wire, are you talking about a 12v signal for turning on the amp?

Yessir that's where it connects. Use the amp remote wire from your head unit, it should be blue. Run wire to first amp, then a jumper from that amp to the second amp.
