First time hooking up sub
Hello all....noticed there are some good helpful people here, so I thought I might ask a question. I have an old 10" self-powered tube that I am putting in my Explorer. I just bought a Pioneer HU yesterday. I also bought the wiring kit (it can handle the 150 watts that the tube puts out).
Now my question.....the tube has a connector that all the wires go into. They are all labeled, so I think I can handle putting them together. However, there is about a 14ga red wire that is labeled ACC and I don't know where it goes. The ORANGE wire is 8ga and is labeled power. There is a blue wire for remote. And two black wires that converge into one that is labeled ground. Does anyone know what this red ACC wire possibly could go to?
Also, does anyone know a good site to get some tips on running the wire (through door jams, under carpet, through firewalls, etc.)
Thanks in advance.

Well I think I answered my own question, though I probably didn't do it right. I just took the ACC wire and the blue wire coming from my amp, and put them together. Then I put that combined line into the remote line on the back of my HU. It works fine now. Maybe I didn't need the ACC line, I don't know.

i'd say the acc wire is for a keyed power source like the cigarette lighter, the is does the same things as the remote switch except it handles more volts, because the acc would be more power than a remote turn on out of a hu
