It may not even has RCA out's, I'm sure you will get your answer soon.

it does not have rca output you have to find the speakerwire and cut them
and convert them in to rca

 

[Padanky]

Not sure where to get your remote power from then.

u can hook it to the red switched ignition wire on the back of ur radio alpines that dont have rca's jacks dont have remote wires . If u want ur amp to shut off if u turn ur radio off u ll have to use a small switch /toggle switch . thats how we do it at work i work a car stereo shop for 7 yrs . try that tho

^^^^What he said. If you don't replace the stock head unit you'll have to put in a switch for your amps.

x2, thats the way that i had it in my old car

I picked these off of ebay...

It has RCA and remote already wired in, just plug and play. Only 30 shipped and it works great

I don't like the switch way to turn off the amps, as I forget sometimes and kill batteries.
The best way IMO is to wire the remote turn on to the ignition so your amps go off when car is turned off. I hardly ever ride with the radio off, this way you never forget to turn it off and come out to a dead car in the morning.
