My kenwood excelon recently crapped out on me... My friend had a el cheapo jensen laying around that I was gonna use for the time being. It has RCA outputs but no remote turn on wire... It does have a power antenna wire, would that turn on my amp or not?

TIA for any help...

you can try it. my old eclipse deck would lower the power antenna if i put it on cd, but my new pioner keeps the antenna up as long as the head unit is not turned off.

or you could just go to your ignition and tap off of the Accesory wire

or you could just toss a relay on the switched power lead at the radio harness.

or you could run it to any numerous things in the car that can handle a .5amp draw and happens to turn on when you turn the key to acc. You really don't even need a really on the switched Head Unit power.
