How to wire digital display on power dist block?

[Nightskye 10+ year member]

Searched on this, but couldn't find anything.

Where can I wire the digital display on my power distrubtion block? I was thinking splice it in to the remote turn-on lead, but that lead is already spliced to 2 amps...

Thanks

get a relay to spilt the remote. then run new remote lines off of the relay to all three items.

Link to the block? I have one with a dig display, and all you have to do is ground a wire.

^^^ x2 + 1

That's how I'm running my setup...I'd rather the relay turn on everything that needs turning on (amps, neons, etc) as opposed to the remote circuit in my HU trying to supply current to multiple items.

After seeing a friend of mine burn the remote turn-on output out of a Blah-PUNKT deck hooking up four amps to it I've been uber-cautious about it since.

OH, the wire can just be grounded??

This is the block:

Sounds like it. The description says "a ground wire is included with the block." You might want to ask knu, but that how my block is.

that would make sense. The display most likely derives power from the block, so just completing the circuit with a good ground would turn it on.
