Switching remote (blue lead) to Amplifier
I am wiring up a Slash 1000/1 and was wondering if I put a switch between the deck remote and the amp is the amp going to remain off or is it going to sense the signal coming from the RCA and turn on.
I don't listen to music all the time when I am working with the car or I will listen to self improvement / motivational stuff which really does not require that kind of low frequency amplification. It seems its a big load on the electrical system that would be nice to be able to run just when I want it to.
Thanks

if the amp has a dedicated REM (remote turn on) then no, it will not turn on because of the RCA's.
Some amps can sense through other means but they will not have REM wires.
I really wouldn't worry too much about putting a switch in though. The draw from the amp will only be large when you are demanding it. It just idling or at a very low volume, the draw will not be that big at all.
even so, you shouldn't have issues.
