I know I need a power distribution block for 2 amps; What I need to know is if its safe to connect the remote turn on wire from my head-unit to 2 amps without a relay.

The amps are both 360W max, but will be running at 170W each(small I know). Should i just pick up a relay when i grab the power block or should the H.U. have enough current for these 2 small amps?

The Head unit is a Dual something or other, I'm unable to check the exact stats on it right now.

 

it should be fine, you can run like 2-3 things off of it without voltage issues, you dont want to put many more cause theres almost no power running through it, just enough to send a 'turn on' signal

 

Cool thank you. Now Just one more question about this.

How should I go about connecting it to the second amp. Do i just run a wire from the remote turn-on from the first amp to the new amp? I'm not sure if this would cause any problems or not.

If this is the way its suposed to go, then i have the wire from the H.U run to the plug on the first amp; Stick another wire in that same plug and run it to the 2nd amp. right?

 

It really does not matter, all the remote wire is 12v and tells w/e to TURN ON. you can go Deck -> Amp -> Amp. Or you could T them off mid line and split. Just make it easy on yourself and go into one AMP and then into the other one!

thats correct



and like trancematic said, it really doesnt matter, its all choice, like i got mine split a foot before the amps just so i dont see any wires going amp to amp,
