well the ignition wire is a switched 12v wire. that's all a remote turn on wire is, just the remote wire is easily accesible behind the HU, and the ign. wire is tucked up by the steering cloumn... if you did in fact wire any switched 12v lead to the amp, it would do the same thing... the switched power going to the deck, has to get to the amp somehow, so that's why you need a remote tun on wire, either from the deck, or another source...
Now there are amp out there, that are becomming more and more common, that have signal sensing inputs, so that once they sense an audio signal in the RCA's it will turn the amp on, but I'd still prefer an actual turn on lead...
