JEFFYBOI Posted July 14, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 14, 2014 5+ probably comes from a relay. Remote outputs on a headunit can only support so many devices. 5+ probably comes from a relay. Remote outputs on a headunit can only support so many devices.After so many devices (amps)? the signal from the HU becomes to weak so a relay is put it to beef up the signal? The reason why you don't want to run more than 1-2 components on the HU's remote is because most electronic components need about 125mA to turn on. On average a HU supplies about 500mA and as years go by, the current draw can be even higher. The turn on circuit can burn out completely if the current draw exceeds the HU's rating. So if you are running multiple components it is best to use the relay method if you don't to want to fry the turn on circuitry on your HU. So basically the components will try to suck more current then the HUs remote output can put out and the electronics will fry in the process? So in other words the HUs remote would be some what be clipping? Thanks, good to know this info. I never knew that, I learned something new.

Weigel21 Posted July 14, 2014 Report Share Posted July 14, 2014 WOW, such a long and (IMO pointless) debate on something so simple. Anyways, the remote turn-on lead of your stereo is probably something like 300mA and so it's not likely to be enough to jump from one device to another and on to many more. Typically, if you are looking to power more than two amplifier's I'd strongly recommend a relay. Heck, even if one were to just wire up one amplifier a relay isn't a bad idea. If for some reason the amplifier goes, it could potentially short out the remote turn-on lead of the stereo, but the use of a relay would protect such from happening.

Using a relay to turn on multiple components was a simple answer. That lead to an interesting discussion on a different (but related) topic. One I am enjoying being a part of. Far from pointless.

Yeah man the whole thread kinda turned into a debate due to someone trying to correct me saying in "series" but i got the info i needed, thanks.... SORRY FOR ALL THE TROUBLE I MAY HAVE CAUSED! Im really on both sides series and parallel, just wanted to see how many likes i could get. Jk but funny.

Jessica Posted July 14, 2014 Report Share Posted July 14, 2014 Not series Would have to use the amp ground to the next remote for it to be series. It parrellel Answer this question to yourself, will the amp power on with just a remote wire and no ground? With that in mind, can you conclude that the board would have a path to ground itself internally thru the ground input terminal to complete its circuit to tell the amp to turn on? Just because there is no external ground doesn't mean the board itself doesn't use the ground internally, which it does.... which makes it a series! nope, the grounds are there already. take 10 lightbulbs, run negative and positive to the first. then just run positive and negatives from that bulb to the next and repeat for the rest. It parallel. do that same with light bulbs but run positive to the first bulb and run the negative to the next bulbs positive and so on series. I cant make this any simpler for you. Just cause you dont see the ground for the remote does not make it not exist, and you can paint with whatever colors you like it is parallel.

Krakin Posted July 15, 2014 Report Share Posted July 15, 2014 Okay, I do stand corrected. I had a brain fart, my bad. Krakin's Home Dipole Project http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/186153-krakins-dipole-project-new-reciever-in-rockford-science/#entry2772370 Krakin, are you some sort of mad scientist? I would have replied earlier, but I was measuring the output of my amp with a yardstick . . . What you hear is not the air pressure variation in itself but what has drawn your attention in the two streams of superimposed air pressure variations at your eardrums An acoustic event has dimensions of Time, Tone, Loudness and Space Everyone learns to render the 3-dimensional localization of sound based on the individual shape of their ears, thus no formula can achieve a definite effect for every listener.
