what will happen have to long of a run with the

 

is right... care to reword?

If I read it as you intended it to be read, there shouldnt be a problem with running a remote wire really long.

 

Yeah I think you may have dozed off there buddy. [img]graemlins/boring.gif[/img]

All a remote wire does is sends a small amount of current to activate your amps, turns them on/off. So you don't have to worry about running to long of a remote wire.

 

if it is a small amount of current to activate the amps ok

but

if the wire is too long that small current maybe to low to actiate the amp
or
did i miss something ?

 

ok i was up at 4:30am does it show [img]graemlins/beer.gif[/img] [img]graemlins/dunno.gif[/img]

 

can you tap into it with 3 wires or do i need a relay
if i need a relay what do i need to kwon about them ?

 

if connecting morethan 2ampsto the remote wire, I would strongly advise on using a relay...

---taken from www.the12volt.com---
Using a 30 amp SPDT relay, connect terminal #87 to constant 12 volts positive with a fuse rated to the sum of the additional accessories you've added and the components you need to turn on. (If you have two fans rated at 5 amps each and a neon light rated at 10 amps, you would use a 20 amp fuse plus 200 ma for each amplifier and processor.) Connect terminal #85 to ground, terminal #86 to the remote turn on lead from the head unit, and terminal #30 to each accessory with an appropriate fuse. A fuse (not shown) could also be used between the output of the relay (#30) and the remote turn on lead of the amplifiers and/or processors for extra precaution.

It's always a good idea to use a relay as some amps pull a large(relatively) amount of current if they fail through the remote circuit. This can fry the remote circuit in your deck. The relay will protect against this.

 

^^^ this is true
