Can you run an amp without a remote line?

Question

Is there another way to use an amp without a remote line from a car stereo?Like some other kind of wire that will turn on the amp?

Answer 1

The remote wire sends the signal to amp when to turn on and when to turn off.

Answer 2

Run a fused (1 amp, 14 AWG) wire from a fuse in the fuse panel that only has power when the car is on to a switch. Then from the other side of the switch run the same sized wire to the REM (remote) connection on the amp. This allows for full control and you never have to worry about forgetting to turn off the amp. The switch is so you can turn off the amp at will so as not to give grandma a heart attack in the car.

Use a fuse tap that you can get from most any autoparts store.

Answer 3

You just need to provide 12 volts to the remote terminal on the amplifier whenever you want the amp to switch on. You can do this by connecting the remote wire to a key-switched power source in the vehicle. Often the easiest place to find this is the fuse box. This will make the amp turn on and off with the key switch.

You could also wire the remote input to a constant power source, and use an in-line switch to turn the amplifier on and off. This isn't recommended because when you forget to turn off the amp, it will drain your battery overnight.

Answer 4

yes yu can turn on your amp without remote on your head unit just tap into your 12v acc wire and run in your amp remote and it works but the only problem youll see is if you turn off your head unit the amp still on i suggest use a toggle switch

Answer 5

yes jump remote wire to amps power wire waring amp will allway be on that way you could add a switch to remote

Answer 6

connect a wire from the remote 2 the battery on the amp but put a swtch cuz if not it will always be on n will drain battery.

Answer 7

it's possible, (anything's possible) if it's got to be ghetto style you could send a signal using a toggle switch powered by the cigarette lighter but that's not really the right way to do it.
if your trying to amplify your stock stereo (which is also not the way to go) you can use the power antenna wire.
