Relay needed for remote wire for two amps?

[bchandler 10+ year member]

I only have two amps, can I get away with splicing the remote wire into two? Or do I need a relay? My head unit is an 880prs.

If I need a relay, can someone tell me which one would be appropriate (from Ratshack) and how to wire it?

Thanks!!!

Yeah, you can just splice it in two with no problems.

If the amps are close, just run a jumper from one amp to the other via remote terminals.

in other words, run a remote to one amp, and another remote from the 1st amp into the 2nd amp?

You could probably hook up 4 amps safely without a relay, you should be fine.

Splice them together any way you want, it doesn't matter for the remote signal since you don't need to worry about grounds and messing up your circuit. You can use a distro block, or daisy chain them together at the remote terminal of one of the amps, or just split the wire into two somewhere along the way...
