On car amps, the power on (remote on) lead is just a 12v input, correct?

As title.

12" subs at subway are usually under $10.00 each. 🙂

 

[Angrymarshmello]

For $55 why not

Bump for different question

sounds like 2 different lights...power on will generally mean everything is ok...remote on would mean that your deck is sending the remote signal

side not: power light shouldnt come on unless your amp has ground too

I'm just talking about the turn-on lead on the amp (the one you connect to your amp power-on lead from your HU).

Is this just a 12v output from your HU to the amp?

not sure of the voltage, but it only turns on when the head unit sends out the signal that is on

I'm trying to test an amp, but I don't want to pull out my HU just to do it...

i dunno if it's as high as 12 v...

so just run a wire from your + to the remote spot and ground it...hook up a test speaker and you are set

Yeah, it's a 12 v signal from the HU. In ancient days, it was a relay. Some people simply splice any other power wire that's activated when the car's on and install a flip-switch. If you only need to test it, you could probably run a wire from the 12v + / power wire connection to the remote connection.

wo0t, works great

Thanks 🙂
