[QUOTE="spoonraker, post: 3061254, member: 570956"] Any low amperage 12 volt source will work fine for remote turn on. You can use your head unit's remote wire, the ignition wire, you can wire it directly to your ignition column, cigarette lighter, a lot of things are 12v switched. Obviously your head unit's remote signal just isn't quite giving you enough juice. I would just run a switched 14ga or so wire from your battery's positive terminal to a distro block and then run 18-22ga to each amp. It only has to be powerful enough to trip a relay, so that should be more than enough. [/QUOTE]
