Simultaneous Remote On

[RebelDogg 10+ year member]

Just hooked up a second amp in my car (for doors). I've daisy chained the remote wire and noticed that one amp will power before the other. Right now my sub comes on first. I think I'll reverse that.

What I want to know is if it's ok to run my remote wire from the head into a wire nut and have two wires twisted in there with it then each wire run to a separate amp? I'm trying to get the amps to power at the same time. My other thought was some kind of capacitor or a little 18ga distribution block. But then again, a wire nut seems like it would be just as good as a block for this purpose.

What does everyone else do?

It shouldnt matter, If you just twist the two together and daisy chain the signal should be fine. The one amp could be powering on before the other because of a delay circuit in order to prevent damage to speakers when the radio is turned on.

For example, my cadence mono will turn on a second after my pioneer 2 channel.

I initially just soldered and heatshrinked all of my turn on wires into the main turn on wire, but I found it was easier just to daisy chain so that I can take stuff apart without hunting down every little wire.

I use a relay.
