I'm going to install a 12" mtx 6000 sub, with a 400watt profile amp in my truck. 1998 ford ranger xlt ext. cab. How do i wire in the remote turn on lead and which fuse would i use.

Forget the fuse box, use the remote turn on lead on the stereo. The stock wire should be a yellow wire with black stripe. Tap into that wire and run it into your remote input on your amp.

alot of the fords have a Power Antennae wire.. even though there is no power antennae.. its usually a blue wire.. might look for that.. but dont plug into a fuse..

i just wired a completelt different switch for my remote, i have it easily accessible so that if needed i can use it as a kill switch.
