The issue is not about losing signal but too much current draw. A typical deck remote lead can't give much more than 200mA of power. Each amp requires around 75 mA to fire up. Once you exceed that amount of current, you could cause the deck to go into protect mode (If you are lucky) or fry the remote lead on the deck if you are unlucky.
