EricM9104 Posted May 27, 2008 Report Share Posted May 27, 2008 (edited) You'd need to get a 12v relay since daisy-chaining multiple amps off the remote turn-on from the head-unit WILL strain it and after a while, it'll stop working.

reinke Posted May 27, 2008 Report Share Posted May 27, 2008 cant you just go fromHU --> 1st amp --> 2nd amp --> etc with one wire? thats the way i did it. 4 amps and a crossover. but iwould highly recommend a relay. as soon as i get the 7 bucks i will rewire. it is much safer with a relay in there Quote ----reference's---- meade916 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hotshot27 Posted May 27, 2008 Report Share Posted May 27, 2008 but is 3 amps ok. or still bad? hahaBills My car is still fine over a year later. Soon, for the sake of not using all my amps when i'm just cruisin on the highway, i'm going to run individual remote wires off the HU [mines factory] and put a switch on each wire to control each amp individually.
