Where do you connect the remote wire on a stock radio?
What is the pink wire on car stereo?

Can I use speaker wire for epicenter?
Unlike speaker cables, which can be routed directly next to existing car wiring, we also recommend that you route line level (coaxial) wiring between the head end unit and the Epicenter away from car wiring, amplifier power supply cables or speaker wires if possible.
How do you split a 2 amp remote wire?
You can splice the tip of the remote wire, just before you reach an amp, and tap 2 wires, one from each amp. Ive seen some people put a jumper wire from the remote terminal of one amp to the remote terminal of the 2nd amp. It works.

How do I know what size wire to use?
To determine what gauge wire you need, consider the carrying capacity and the amount of current the wire needs to conduct (measured in amperage or amps). Wire gauge is directly related to how many amps you need to run through it. The distance you need the wire to go can also impact the gauge of wire you need.
Can you use two different gauge wires together?
It must be noted that while it is possible to splice different types of Romex wire—12/2 to 12/3, for instance—you should never splice together wires of a different gauge. Wire gauge is determined by the amount of amperage the wire is expected to carry.
