sub and amp install

Hey, I just bought a 10" Kicker sub and a 900 watt amp, and I am going to install them this weekend. I was wondering what you guys that have 'em, hooked them up to to turn them on. I'm looking for something that turns on with the acc or when the key is turned to "on" so it's not drawing power from the battery all night long. Thanks for the help.

On aftermaekt headunits they have remote turn ons just for this. On factory units you would use the antenna. If your not sure, use a multi meter to see which wire gets energized when you turn on the unit.

Thanks for the help guys. I don't think my head unit has a remote turn on, so I guess I'll check and then use the antenna. Thanks again.
