Hello Fellas,

I have been using the remote lead going into the Bose AMP, but is there a switched power source that can drive an amp or two of 12v (maybe 30W max for some cooling fans)? Or is the remote lead good enough for that much current? Anyone know for sure?

Don't want to have to setup a relay if it's overkill...

Thanks in advance...

 

Off topic....what color is that wire you are using for the remote turn on?? ..i need to locate a remote turn on as well....

 

check out this post

I just installed my amp and sub a couple days ago

 

Remote Wire Light Blue/ Silver

any advice on the power draw that is acceptable from that line???

 

Typically a remote turn on lead should be assumed to be 100ma. Just enough to run a relay. I wouldn't try running fans off of any remote turn on lead personally... Go with the relay and be sure you are doing it right and not risking damage to your hu.

 

Listen to KP, switched power lines are not meant for powering high draw components
Use a relay that will trigger use of constant power

Relays are only a few bucks and take mere seconds to wire; just do it

 

thanks fellas. will drop by radio shack to pick up a relay.
