So I thought about hooking a relay to my remote wire to the amps. I just found 1 laying around in the trunk I had not used. If i wire a bosch relay (radio shack) up to turn on my amplifiers will this stop that? What if any advantages could I gain from doing it anyway? Or would it even help. I know they sell products to stop this, but how can I make my own? |

It's easier to see the diagram there than it is for me to tell ya which pins on a relay go where. pictures are worth, well, you know the addage. |

A lot of HU can turn the pre-outs on and off, but don't actually shut off the amp. I just like the peice of mind :P. A relay might work, depending on how "slow" it is to complete the curcuit. And a delay circuit will wait for the desired time to pass the current through. |
