Remote wire is used for turning on your external amplifier on with the Headunit. If your using 1-2 amplifiers this will work just fine. If later on you add additional amps your going to want to upgrade with a larger wire to a different source either an accessory input or a nother 12v line that is you can turn off and on with a switch.

i use mine everyday, cant have cheap tools that break, i would rather not, i used to use the channellock crimpers and also have a set of kleins journymen, i recommend the channellocks over the kleins, even though they are channellocks are cheaper priced

also use mine almost everyday...many times a day and i have had them for probably 5 years...no problems....inexpensive is not always cheap

FYI the blue wire was connected to something else. I know it was put in right b/c the guys at Circuit City put it in.

Yeah, I see that. Still keeping it, that is classic right there.

the channellocks were $20 the kleins are $32

crimpers get dull eventually the better they are the less you have to sharpen them

personally i know i can strip and crimp 0gauge no problem with these

What? Wouldn't you just have your remote wire trigger a relay to turn on multiple amps and processors and stuff? Why would you want to put a manual switch in when the remote can do it for you?
