White Lightning Posted July 14, 2014 Report Share Posted July 14, 2014 Made a custom relay for my turn on remotes on amps. Nice But it isn't flowing through the component to the next component either. I have no idea what it is.It's considered a series circuit since the circuit thinks it's going to one load and back considering it has a common ground. more of a "daisy chain" if you will. only the length of cable determines the loss of power to each device. which is little to nothing if the amplifiers aare close to each other.

Quiet Posted July 14, 2014 Report Share Posted July 14, 2014 Your amp would technically have to have a remote input and output to make it in series i believe. Its series bro.... trust me! nope. It's Daisy Chained Parallel. Series wiring indicates running pole to pole through... you are definitely not wiring + to - If you hooked up 5 subs in a row but parallel, and the wires burned up between subs 1 and 2, you'd lose 2 3 4 and 5. Doesn't make it series. 2007 Pacifica Rebuild. Less quiet. Still not loud. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JEFFYBOI Posted July 14, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 14, 2014 OK TO CLEAR THIS UP THIS IS WHAT I WAS REFFERING TO ORIGINALLY AS FAR AS HOOKING UP 1 REMOTE WIRE IN SERIES TO MULTIPLE AMPS BUT NOW EVERYONE GOT ME ALL MIXED UP...

Mowgli Posted July 14, 2014 Report Share Posted July 14, 2014 Why not run the normal one remote wire to a relay in the trunk and take 12V from one of the amp power wires? That would make wiring much simpler than running multiple remote wires to the trunk from a relay up front. Current: Two old school Orion HCCA 12's, No amp currently. Did run DAT Hellfire Prototype.

JEFFYBOI Posted July 14, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 14, 2014 When i look at it it makes me think series but when i think hard about it i can see where it might be technically parallel.... Idk it don't really matter.

islandpride684 Posted July 14, 2014 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.

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! 2011 Nissan Altima aka Red Ruby HEADUNIT: Pioneer AVH X2700BS ELECTRICAL: -Singer 230a -Northstar gr34 -(2) Northstar SMS220 w/ Custom Terminals from 12V Metalworkz -100% Welding Cable FRONT STAGE:-(2 Sets) Hertz HSK165 -Hertz HSK130 -Ampere Audio 125.4 SUB STAGE: -(3) Sundown Audio SA REV2 12's -Ampere Audio 3800.1 V2 MISC (NON AUDIO RELATED): -Interior & Exterior Lights LED -Gloss Black Roof (PAINTED) -15% Front, 5% Rear Tint -Roof Spoiler -20" TSW Snettertons (20x8.5 front, 20x10 rear) -Custom Projector Retrofit (FX-R 3.0, 6.5k HID, Morimoto Mini H1 (faux projector), Quad Starry Night Halos) ----- COMING SOON!! -Aftermarket Fog Lights -Custom Painted Engine Covers My Build Log: http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/169869-woods-2011-altima-aka-red-ruby-new-video-more-updates/page-109 Retrofit Build Log: http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/185787-hid-projector-retrofitting-diy-by-wood/#entry2765346 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
