installing my soundstream and wondering where most of yall run your remote wire from?

 

Grab the remote power from the cig. lighter. That's where Biketronics amps get it.

 

I got mine from the orange wire in the headlight harness.

 

This is where I get all of my remote wires as well unless the head unit you're using has a remote output wire, then you want to use that.

 

Does the orange wire the headlight harness activate the amp when key is switched to ACC?

 

in ACC or IGN mode.. both. but turns off when you turn bike off.

 

Sounds like a better location then the cigarette lighter. The lighter housing seems kind of flimsy, so does the connector on it.

 

I'm interested in the soundstream also. My question is what wire do you use? The soundstream remote wire looks like it has phone jacks terminals on the end. How do you connect that to the connector off of the headlight harness?

 

The one that looks like a phone jack is not the remote turn on, the phone connection one is for a remote gain switch, ignore that port. The one your looking for is in the speaker out block, next to the regular speaker posts. It will look like a regular speaker hook up with a Phillips screw in it, should be two holes (REM IN and REM OUT) if I remember correctly the top post is the IN and the bottom is the OUT.
Just run your remote from your head unit or wherever you going use into that REM IN and tighten that Phillips screw down, done!

Here is a picture.
