No stereo??

[Jet]

Decided to ditch the stereo and only use the XM and Aux input. Power question? Do I just hook up the blue power wires from the amps and 4200 to a dash mounted stereo switch?? And that would be a 2-position switch correct? Any BRIGHT ideas would be great! Thanks Jet

Have the amps mounted and the charging system is up and running.Amp Rack 1.jpgAmp Rack 2.jpgCharging System 1.jpgCharging System 2.jpg

You can use a switch.

You need it to step down the power though, the blue line is a 5V line i think. < this is where im not positive > id need to measure that voltage but i thought it was a 5V line.

If its 12V then yea you can use a 2 way switch.

The remote turn on lead would normally be 12 volts. So if all units including sources, processors and amplifiers have constant power and ground first then they can receive the switched on/off 12 volts trigger. Contemporary amplifiers have a momentary input muting function so you do not get a turn on/off thump. But if you do have noise, which is unlikely, there is a programable module that will rectify this.

Good idea?? Any thoughts??

He is telling you that you can use a 2 position switch, and the amp will mute the initial "pop" when you turn it on....possibly. At least that's How I read it.

Run a turn on wire from the battery to one pole on the switch, and from the other pole run it back to your amp turn on. Link all the amps together off of the same remote turn on wire. Whala, switch activated remote turn on.
