ok civic.. or anyone else that can help here.. Just to clear some things up regarding what you said here..
1./ 86- remote turn on lead.. this must be the turn on lead from the hu? or can i run it from the lead off the first amp?
2./ 87- 12v source is ok with just 16 or 18 guage wire as well? assuming its a small amount of amperage being dealt with.. and can this wire be run from one of the amps 12v?
3./ 30- id just run 18 awg wire to all the remotes?
4./ 85- Ground also is ok with 16-18 awg?
