Rockford amp install question

#2
I haven't run too many on bikes, but I've done a LOT of car audio installs. A remote power turn on for amps, obviously RF included, is a 12V line that turns on when the radio turns on. If you want the amp to turn on whenever the bike turns on you can connect to any 12V acc line in parallel (not recommended).
The remote line needs no current draw, it just looks to see for a potential of 12V so it knows 'ok, now its time to turn on the amp'.
In a car we have a line dedicated, but if it's missing for whatever reason we can splice with the dimmer or light control for the deck (not the 'always on').
For your ride you could splice in with a lightbar switch if you wanted or even various lights that may be more convenient. If you have a deck installed, there may be a 12V line there you'd prefer.
I'm new here, but as I mentioned before, I've done a lot of amp installs... so hope it helps.

I have talked to RF. Remote is currently connected to the aux lead that is in the headlight harness. Since this is instant power the amp is coming on before the radio and causing a pop. RF recommended changing the source of power for the remote turn on.
If not the radio hot lead, where??
Bike is an 07 Ultra.
