Ive been told its not actually a remote wire, its just most people use it as that. Supposed to be grounded on both ends, helps reject noise or something. Maybe someone can explain it better?

I have complained to Knu about that wire -

its too small to handle so I had to solder a thicker wire to it just

to make my 2 amps connect

I don't think it is a remote wire because on my amp, the rca plug plugs into the side of my amp and the remote is on the opposite side.

its a ground to reject noise. definatly NOT a remote turn on lead, however if they did use a 16~18 guage wire it would be extremly handy.

do not use it as a remote wire. 22gauage wire is not large enough.

then what the heck is it??

some amps have everything on one side (ex: eclipse and merlin )

Its true use is ground loop, to ground the amp and HU at the same point. It CAN be used for remote turn on and often is. No harm in using it either way. I agree using a separate wire though can be cleaner sometimes. But in an amp kit its very handy for the folks with one amp
