[QUOTE="sexiewasd, post: 7770456, member: 604169"] yes the amp's power lead should go to the fans red wire, and black to either the car's chassis, or the negative wire on the amp, which ever is easier, but you will need some sort of switch in the circuit or the fan will run even when the car is shut off. The remote lead is capable of supplying the power for a relay nicely. A relay will use between 100-200 milliamps, where the fan will draw around an amp at 12v. The top relay and the socket below it on this page [URL="http://www.parts-express.com/wizards/searchResults.cfm?FTR=relay&search_type=main&WebPage_ID=3&searchFilter=relay&x=0&y=0"]LINK[/URL] are a good choice. the pins are labeled on the bottom. they have five pins labeled (30) (87) (87a) (85) (86). Connect the amp's positive to pin 30, the fan's red wire to 87 and cut the remote lead, connect one side of the remote lead to pin 85, and the other to pin 86, it doesn't matter which side is on 85 or 86 [/QUOTE]
