Split 1 remote wire to 4?

I've turned up to 4 things on with no problems.

It really depends on the items, I did 3 amps and an eclipse Balanced Line Adapter...

This was back when I was first into caraudio though, a relay is well worth it...

^would you do it again?

That's exactly the same thing I will be doing

3 sundown amps, and a balun

Would it be safe to run a little 16ga power wire into and share the same power outlet from my distribution block with one of my 4ga's?

Nope, I'd just buy a relay considering how insanely cheap they are....

Radio Shack or most install shops should have them for like $5. Just use a relay and inline 15a fuse and be done with it...

get a block to distribute them, should be ok

Bad advice, your suggestion doesn't change the load put on the deck's remote turn on circuitry.

Use a relay.
