if the two pin wire your talking about is your rca's then the wire in the middle of it is the remote wire. this turns your amps on. hlh :D

On the back of your head unit, you should have a blue wire marked up 'remote' or 'electric ariel' and the wire you have will connect to this at the head unit end and to the 'remote' connector on the amp.
