alright heres the situation..friend of mine has a 96 accord...he has an amplifier with 2 subs running off a stock head unit..apparently circuit city only wired up the remote wire for him...and from what he told me, he says that his subs start making noise before he turns the radio on, and once the radio is on then it stops...i told him they probably tagged the remote wire to accessory rather than the radio/remote turn on wire...thats happened to me before where tagging remote wire to accessory tried to give the subs signal and the subs bounce weird until the radio turns on...he thinks they tagged it at the fusebox...the only other wire i can think they tagged is the radio ignition wire which is white w/ red stripe behind the radio....since its a stock radio, what else could we hook it up to so he doesnt have this noise? like i said before, ive had this problem, but it was with an aftermarket head unit, not a stock so it didnt have a remote wire to connect to.
Unfortunately, I don't think there's anything you can do. The problem is that the amp is getting a "turn-on" signal without being sent any audio signal so it just produces that god-awful loud humming noise. Hondas don't have factory amps (or at least none that I've encountered) and hence there is no amp turn-on wire to tag. That means the only option is an accessory wire (white with red stripe) and regardless of which accessory wire you tag (fuse box, ignition harness, back of radio) you're going to have that problem. One thing you could do to side-step the problem would be to wire a switch to the amp turn-on wire being hooked up to accessory power, that way you could manually turn the amp off and on.
They should have used one of these.
