hook them all together....

either split it at some point or jump it from component to component.

Don't be afraid to think for yourself, really - I'm not trying to be sarcastic, although I know it sounds that way.

Yeah... It's just better safe than sorry when wiring shit..

So I can just daisy chain the amps? Or splice into a "main wire"

Daisy-chaining a remote wire is fine. It only requires 12v to turn on the amp, no need for a high current.

Yep

Actually, it's going to depend on the devices and how many there are.

Ideally, if you have to remote turn on more than two devices, you should probably just go ahead and use a relay.//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/cool.gif.3bcaf8f141236c00f8044d07150e34f7.gif

I always use a relay!The remote wire doesn't provide enough power when running multiple amps,tvs,etc....Just get a relay and use the main power wire to feed juice to your components.They will thank you.

Ive heard of people using caps to run multiple turn on leads. never seen it done though.

yea if its more then one amp... i would use a relay.. cause amp turn on/0ff "POP" is anoyying.. and that is one of the biggest resons it happens....

i have 2 amps on 1 tiny *** remote and i have no pop. my friend has 1 amp (legacy 4000w //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif) and his shit pops very nicely //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/cool.gif.3bcaf8f141236c00f8044d07150e34f7.gif

12v relay for the win

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/5-PACK-12V-DC-30A-40A-Bosch-Style-Relay-Socket-SPDT_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQcategoryZ33721QQihZ009QQitemZ190179918865QQrdZ1QQsspagenameZWDVW

85 to 86 is the 12v coil, hook the remote wire to 85, and ground 86

Do not use 87a wire nut it off

Hook 30 to positive

Hook 87 to amp's on leads

Correct me if I'm wrong I'm assuming the diagram is with the 12v coil off.

An easy way to see if i'm wrong/right is to check for continuity with a multimeter on 30-87a. when the 12v relay is not hooked up.

If 30-87a is closed, then I'm right, if it is open, then Use 87a instead of 87.

cuz its a shitty legacy

When in doubt use a relay (I like bosch),

also get the right socket and solder and heats shrink the wires to the terminals in the socket, nothing more ghetto looking than a ebay relay with a bunch of wires hanging off lol
