i have a question.. the blue wire from the head unit to the amp for remote power on. is that constant? like i wanna be able to add a switch to turn off the amp when i listen to talk radio (Opie and Anthony and Ron and Fez). if i put a switch in line of the remote turn on, will that cut the amp off when i throw the switch?

thanks
Brian

No...it's not constant.....it shuts the amp down when the stereo is shut off.

so just put a switch inline on the remote wire and it'll shut off once i throw the switch? thanks :)

yeah...or you can wire the blue remote wire into the fuse for the raido so you don't need a switch...instead you're ignition acts as one...but as long as you ground out the opposite throw of that switch it works the same
