knubs Posted February 21, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 21, 2013 If key turns on your stereo then relay will turn on also linking battery's an not isolate them i was kind of confused by this post until i got everything installed, and now i think i know what you are saying kind of, but i'm still confused. i have noticed now that when i have the key in the accessory position that the HU runs off the front battery and the amps run off the back one. i hadn't really thought about that before.. is there any way to remedy this besides running a power wire from the HU to the second battery and throwing a switch on it (basically putting everything on a switch and eliminating the need for a key)? if not then adding another power wire and a switch should work right? i was actually thinking about doing that anyways so that i could run the stereo without having the keys in the ignition (then i can listen to music drunk at a party but not get a dui because my keys are in the ignition just for music ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
