Remote for amps

**Ascension** · 06-03-2005, 08:32 AM

Ive spliced one of the molex connectors from my PSU to power my xenarc.

Can i use this same yellow cable to hook up to my two amps for remote?

So when i switch my comp on my screen and two amps turn on.

dude, dont double post!
just wire it your Acc line so what when the keys in its on, if you do it with the pc you will get a pop when it powers up.

Okai, so i can just use the wire that plugs into the ciggie lighter?
I just attach another wire to this so it can extend to the boot, splice it into 3 ends.
One for the relay for the inverter, and the other two ends go to each amp, yes?

So when i turn the car on, the inverter turns on and the two amps turn on. and the computer auto powers up when it sees power.

So this way everything turns on when the key is turned.

Is this right?

Hi!

I like this solution to powering up and down the amp:
Windows Service that raises DTR on powerup

It uses a 12V line in the serial port that is switched on and off by the computer and should hopefully stop the pop from happening. I haven't tried it yet myself but it's part of the plan!

Hope this helps!
