| Hey, well I have two amps set up in my trunk, one Legacy LA-290, and another Kenwood. ( I forget the model, 1800w )
So for the Remote wire, which will turn both amps on, can I run 2 wires, one from each amp, then connect them, and run that main wire up to my fuse box? Or do I have to do both seperatly. |

| and that wire goes from the deck to the amp and thats it.
normally blue, or blue with a white stripe. | |

| Yes. Normally a blue wire with a white stripe on all my decks so far (alpine, pioneer, kenwood).
You said you are running them to your fuse panel? You could, as mentioned, use a relay hooked up with your remote wire off your deck as a trigger. That way the amps would only be on when your deck is on. The only reason to use a relay is so you don't overdraw off your deck. | |

| Oooook. I was told to run the Remote from my amp(s) right to my fuse pannel, to a spot that would remotly turn on, when the car is started.
So rather then that, I would run it to my deck ? And I can split both Remote wires from the amp, into one. ?
Thanks. | |

| just run one wire to your first amp, then jump it to the second...like others said if ur only having 2...find someone with experience to help u with relays if needed | |

Mark | you just took what he said and added some techno babble lol.and a relay does not boost a signal, it just gets the power from a different source. | |

2 different things all together.
