[QUOTE="jluv, post: 1773103, member: 567917"] Well, we all learn new things on a daily basis, right? I gave advice based on experience instead of research. After reading another thread here, it seems like the general advice is not to run more than two amps from one remote lead. So you should be fine that way I stated, but if you run more than two amps, apparently you should use a relay. I've personally run 3-4 amps in my systems for years, and I've always split them from one remote wire off of the head unit with no relay. I've never had a problem doing it this way, but maybe I've been lucky. Just from reading the advice in the other thread, I will be putting in a relay asap myself, just to be safe. Again, good luck with your install! [/QUOTE]
