Remote Line enough for 3 amps??

Diesel2NR · #1 10-26-2003, 10:14 PM

I've bought my Kicker CVR 12s with dual 2ohm voice coils. So, now I'm buying two Profile California 600s (450RMSx1@4ohms) to run'em, and a Profile California 440 for the doors and rear deck speakers. My question is, will the regular relay wire split into 3 turn on all 3 amps without a problem, or do I need to install a relay somewhere on the remote line? The head unit is a Panasonic MXE CQ-DFX302U if that helps any.

Thats how I have mine...Works fine. No relays, just from amp to amp.

Wow... very close to what I want to do for a setup, aside from the fact I am using a higher powered pair of profiles and some audiobahns.

Haibane, I hear ya. I was planning on 2 Audiobahn Excursion 12s with 2 California 800s running them. It would've been awesome, but I listen to Rock and rap, and I like the tighter bass of the Kickers CVRs. Of course, I could've just turned the audiobahns down, but there's a long, screwed up story about why I ended up with kickers instead and I don't feel like typing it. Here's my setup so far: Perdue's Legacy: System

you can put lots of components on that auto turn-on wire ..... I currently have 3 amps and 5 other devices. If you are afraid of it drawing too much current, you can always use the turn on wire to power up a relay.

Yea, I personally like to use a relay once I get above 2-3 things to turn on. You have to measure the power needed to turn on the componets and look at what the max is on the headunit. You can't believe how many radios come back die to the turn on lead burnt out.

just be careful, some of those Bosch style realys for like foglights and flashing the lights for the alarm and such can draw as much as an amp - just to turn them on.
