IBleedMusick Posted January 18, 2012 Report Share Posted January 18, 2012 You can use a relay to be safe I did using 3 amps, eq and crossover. Just need one to get it done.

LZTYBRN Posted January 18, 2012 Report Share Posted January 18, 2012 The lowest you'll find is about 20 amps and that's more than enough. IIRC each amplifier only uses about .2 or .3 amps. And you can just tap into the positive input on your amp I believe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And you can just tap into the positive input on your amp I believe. if you tap into the positive (which I wouldn't do) you have to put it on a switch to make sure your amps don't stay on all the time. Run the relay from your remote line on the headunit.

Run the relay from your remote line on the headunit. I mean for the positive for the relay. The relay itself is a switch, that's the whole point. The 12V+ here is what I was referring to It might not be a good idea though, but I thought I read you can do that somewhere... Trying to find where.
