Actually, I haven't even started my project yet, still planning and gathering pieces...

I'm glad I responded to this thread; I completely overlooked the "remote turn on" or whatever its called for the sub amps.

I'm just curious, why not just use a +5 lead from the carPC power supply for the turn on signal to the amp? I realize the very second the PC starts up, it will cause the sub amps to turn on, possibly causing a "thump" as the sound card drivers are loaded...Is this why everyone uses a separate regulated 5 volts?
