Do these amps turn on by sensing audio input, like my home sub amp?

[_RS_]

An amp will fit nicely in the trunk near the battery, near the stock speaker for audio feed, and near a new subwoofer. I'm not counting on running wires up to somewhere for a signal to take the amp out of standby when there is a perfectly good audio signal to do that.

I do not see the auto power up advertised in specs, and I am assuming, maybe wrongly, that they all do that and it is too obvious to mention in the spec?

Only a few still do that, I think mtx may.

Only a few EVER did that. The JL Slash series is the only ones that I can think of off hand.

interesting... learn something everyday....

i have always heard this the other way around...

people have a bose system and the bose systems have an external amp and people want to place an aftermarket h/u but dont wanna rewire everything.

nice!
