Posted April 29, 20169 yr What can happen if to many things are hooked to one remote wire? . . . Every once and a while my amps will shut off like there protecting and sometimes the cd player will shut off but volts will be in the low 13s . Could this happen from alot of things hooked to one remote? . I have both sub amps. My 4 chan amp. An eq and both volt meters all from one remote
April 29, 20169 yr That could very well be the problem. Most remote power outputs are only good for a couple of tenths of an amp of current draw. Too many devices can definitely exceed that limitation. You could install a relay that is turned on by the remote output and have it switch a higher capacity power supply such as the memory power at the HU or the amp power if you add it in the rear.
April 29, 20169 yr More than 2 devices I always use a relay....actually I think I've used a relay even for one device. My current truck has something like 15 devices that turn on...from a single relay. Carpc for the wtfwiring!

April 30, 20169 yr Probably. I bought the one in my truck I believe in 1989 and it has been in use since.
