or you could find a fuse that comes on with the ignition, on my 95 accord i used the fuel pump fuse, and wrapped the wire around it so when i turned the key to 2 the amp would be powered up. the remote wire does not carry any current it only acts as a positive lead to trip a relay to then power the amp so that is why any fuse that powers stuff like that will work.

Digging this back up, but what wire on the amp did you tap into?

i went to the honda dealership and they printed out the wiring diagram for the stock amp in my si. If you can't read it i'm sure a tech can point you to the right wire np. Mine was a purple wire to the amp under the driver seat.
