too many remote turn on wires

hi

is there some kind of block, like sort of distribution block for blue remote wires? i have a lot of amps and devices and i need a simple neat install instead of all these wires everywhere.

i thought someone had a pic on here of something like that from radio shack not sure

thanks

Can't you just daisychain the remote wires....

You can

just split one wire to all your amps, very little is drawn from this power source...no worries.

yes and i don't know why you would go through the hassle of a relay.

You should use a relay for three or more devices. The draw on more then three components may be excessive for what the HU can provide. Using a terminal strip is another easy way to link things. We have an "all-in-one" block coming for late 06 that will include a few features not seen on the market that will might make a few lives a little easier..... //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

to keep from trying to draw to much current from a very very low current supply. You can split a remote a few times but he says he has a lot of things to run off it.

and a relay is not that hard to add since you already have access to everything required to connect one when you install an amplifier.

but wouldnt a relay just split one remote wire into say 4 ? the same amount of current would go thru the single wire in the end compared to twisiting them all together, correct????
