About to tackle my sound system in my car today. For some reason my mind has went blank today. My question is, I Have an EQ to hook up, it has 3 wires a black one which I know is ground, a red one that says +power lead, and a orange one that says B+12v Out, what do the orange and red wires connect to?

Red goes to a constant power source and the orange goes to a switched power(a power source that turns on with the ignition switch). Hope that helps.

yes , that helps alot. Basically the orange is like a remote wire like the blue wire that runs to the amp? I get it now.
