use the remote wire to trigger a relay. providing switched power to a terminal strip. so you can run the wires to the amps/ etc.

You can get a 30a SPST relay (like this) at Radio Shack, Wal-Mart, most likely Best Buy or Circuit City.....most anywhere that sells electrical components. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Likely for the same reason I bought the amps that aren't being used for anything but a ghetto-rigged setup in my room or taking up closet shelf space //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

No - you don't need to run 4 wires off of the head unit when using a relay.

The relay requires its own source of power and ground. That will use two of the four terminals on the underside of it.

Then one of the two remaining terminals will be where you connect the remote accessory activation output coming off the head unit (the trigger input on the relay)

The final remaining terminal will be what activates your accessories (in this case four amps) after being triggered by your head unit. it will be this terminal where you'll want to attach four wires. (or just one and then attach the remote input on the second amp via a jumper off of the first amp then the third amp via a jumper off of the second etc etc etc)

so ok i think i get it.....on the underside you have the seperate pwoer and ground then a spot of a input and a output....i am goin to put the single remote wire in the input and have a single come off the output then split that wire into 4 wires? or what is this jumper you talk of
