[QUOTE="jjsowa, post: 8837230, member: 688572"] Thank you to everyone who has given me advice so far. I have not had the chance to make any changes yet (truck driver). I don’t get much down time. Ordered a ferrule kit and I’m contemplating reworking the remote wire. Had something weird happen when I was hooking everything up. I had the remote wire running through the LC8 then going out to the sub amp then to the main amp. The main amp would turn on but not the subs. So I took the remote wire directly from the head unit to the subs and used the auto turn on feature of the LC8 to the main amp and they both came on. Something is sketchy about that setup. Maybe it’s insufficient voltage for both amps together. I have an unused relay back here from when I had my sleeper remodeled. I’m going to try to wire the remote wire to that relay then wire the relay to my amps. Then I can have a fused connection straight from the battery instead of running through the head unit or the LC8. What do y’all think? [/QUOTE]
