    Turning on an amp without a headunit. . how?

    Hi there
    Hooking up an amp to a carputer. problem is that the head unit which is SUPPOSED to be hooked to the amps is what tells the amps to turn on in the first place. any thoughts on how i can manually turn on the amps at any given time? maybe with say a switch of sorts?

    Thanks for the help,

    the remote wire is just a low wattage 12v feed.....so any 12v source thats either switched, or switched by the ignition will work
