    remote wire for amps

    hi guys, i am just wondering. When i install my carputer, the remote wires for my amps, should i connect them to my ignition wire? or to something else? reason i ask is because im used to the radio supplying that wire so now im unsure which way to connect it. Thanks!!

    Most DC-DC PSU's have a remote amp on wire with a delay so that it prevents thumping when the audio drivers load.

    I'm not aware this as any opus part number. It may be a stock number that's specific to the vendor you purchased from.
    Can you link to the PSU you're using, possibly?
    Have you looked in the FAQ yet?
    How about the Wiki?


    Under normal circumstances, a signature would go here.

    Do you have the owners manual?

    It will show you in there how to hook up the remote turn on wire.

    Use the serial cable mod for your remote for the amps.
