Yes, if your head unit is able to supply enough current. If not, you will have to use the REM to power a relay to feed 12V to the amp RMSs.

do you know how id find out if a pioneer deh4000ub would be enough for rem to three amps? http://www.caraudiocraze.com/cd-players/pioneer-deh-4000ub-cd-player/prod_932.html

you can, but if your head unit can't support the 3 then just pick up a 12v relay at an autopart store. they are easy to hook up.

i meant is it just a general relay, or is there a certain size i need (like amp not volt)

Specs you need to aim for:

Coil optimum voltage: 12VDC, max of 200mA or so.

Contact rating: Minimum of 20V @ at least 1A.

im going to try to see if my pioneer deh4000ub can run it without a 12v inverter. if it cant power it, can it hurt my equipment?

Bosch relay.

But Im positive your head unit can handle 3 pieces on its rem circuit.

You're welcome.

he isn't talking about an inverter, its a relay that turns on from the remote from the h/u and sends out full 12volts to the amplifiers remote hook up.

like that they are about 5$ even walmart sells them lolz

I would use one, on anything more than 2 amps. but that is just me.
