Reply With QuoteAs far as I know, the remote turnon wire only needs a minimum amount of voltage to "flip" the internal relay on inside your amp/xover/whatever. I can't see this being an issue unless you're using terribly small or just ****ty wire.
Is there a limit to how many things I can connect to my remote lead wire? I have running from my cig power source to my trunk. It worked fine when I just had it connected to my carputer and amp. I've since then added 1 more amp and the audiocontrol xover? Would it be ok to hook up all 4 of these things to the same wire? Thank you!

You should have no problems with this, Epon is correct: There is a minimal voltage running throug this wire. When I installed a second amp in my vehicle, instead of running another cable I actually bought a cheap power distribution block and just split the signal two ways...That worked great for me!
If you ae talking about the Amp Turn On Lead from your HU, it would depend. Some HUs can supply enough AMPERAGE to switch on many devices, but some can not, being able to supply less then half an amp. It all depends. You can try and find the specs for your unit, and keep under that, or just to be safe, use the amp turn on from the HU to flip a relay to make sure you have enough power. Also, make sure any wires you use are capable of handling the power.Originally Posted by hornyleprechaun
If you are taking the amp turn on signal from an accessory wire from the car (Not the HU) then you should be able to supply enough power to power all your devices, assuming the accessory wire is capable of providing the power (it probably can supply an amp or two extra safely) and again, make sure your wire is thick enough for the amperage you must provide.

It is from an ACC wire, not a head unit. It would be 18 gauge wire, so I don't know if that would be enough for 2 amps, 1 xover and the computer?
You should be fine.

By ACC wire, if you mean that it is a wire that you have run independently of other components in the car, then it definitely had enough power for everything so long as it is split properly. The voltage for any in-car device that runs through the ACC line is minimal, almost negligible.
Just to be precise, it is AMPERAGE and not VOLTAGE.
