Remote will draw almost no current, far below the sort of things you can plug into a 12v socket, it's solely a signal. | |

You could use the ignition switched live in the boot and tap in to your speaker wires if your amp accepts high level input and you're not drawing much current. Check the fuse on the ciggy lighter and compare is with the rating of your amp, ideally you want a bit of a margin in there as you're running it for prolonged periods. | |

dunno lol i always thought it was 12v too. cos the aerial amplifier uses the same kinda remote switch on and thats 12v so is the clock. | |

with it only been low ampage for your ignition remote lead, and worried about putting 12v into your amp. you can fit a tiny transformer in line or maybe a resistor to bring it down to 5v. maplin electronics will have everything | |

i always thought it was 12v when ever i tested amps i just bridged the + with the remote just to get it going and it always worked fine | |

if the ignition wire is in the boot and only live when the keys are in the ignition then you can put your amp of that. and if you dont want to take your headunit out then you can tap into your rear speaker wires but you will need a little black box that has left and right speaker wires coming out of it at one end and a set of rca's at the other so it can go into your amp as normal. auto leads make this product as i had one. what it does is takes the high speaker level and converts it to low level line output for an amp. it also has an adjustabe level on it for L/R to get the levels spot on | |

Just take the RCA's from the pre-outs in the head unit. You'll need the remote feed anyway, that basically tells the amp that the head unit is powered up. The amp, therefore sub, won't work without either of the two. | |

the amp has "level" wrote on the back and a dial that goes from 0.3v - 6.0v | |

Can only take the pre outs from the speaker wires if the amp has a high level input. | |

remote wire is the blue wire coming out of the head unit, and the pro outs should be taken from the back of the head unit too not the speakers | |

Is this just an ignition live? and can the pre out jack plugs be tapped into a rear speaker wire? |
