FIRE in the Blazer! remote turn on wire

[envengineer 10+ year member]

bcae1.com recommends a 1/2A for the remote wire.
Most amps don't take more than a few mA to power up, and the 1/2A fuse - SHOULD protect your remote turn on circuit as they are usually good for a few hundred mA.

Which begs the question - how did you not fry your HU turn on circuit?

I use a 0.5 amp fuse. Works perfectly. Triggers a relay that powers all of the remotes/fans/etc.

If you have more than 1 amplifier in the car you also may want to add a relay to your remote turn on circut
