The RCA pre-outs connect from your head unit and go out to your amp. your sub also connects to the amp.

theres a remote wire going from the head unit to the amp aswell, but that's just a signal to turn the amp on.

The remote wire from the head unit? It can act as a remote to turn on the external amplifiers.

The solid blue wire goes to the antenna-if it is a power antenna.
