Remote turn on wire

[Dave K]

Hi Guys,
I need to ask for some help on remote turn-on for stereo.
Here my set-up

No deck, just Ipod and Sat radio,
WS 420 at drivers helm,
3 Wet Sounds amp in port locker,

I was planning to have a power wire from battery source to driver helm, (switched at helm). From that on-off switch connect up power to WS 420, ipod harness, sat radio, and run a power wire to a port side relay and then run 3 power wires from that relay to the remote turn-on lead on amps.

Can I do it this way or do I need to use the orange remote wire from the back of the WS-420 running to the relay then to the 3 remote turn for amps?....or does it matter?

Thanks

The orange turn on wire for the WS 420 is an input not an output. No need for a relay at the amps with your plan. Just be sure the circuit is fused.

10.4 No relay I guess the draw is so minimal?
Thanks

Can the orange and the red be connected to together to switched power, or should the red be constant? Thkx

The WS-420's red and black wire need to share the same battery source as the amps. This is crucial for sound quality. If you wired the red and orange together to a constant B+, then the WS-420 would be on all the time. If you switched both the red and orange, along with the amps' turn-on wire, you may end up with some turn-on/turn-off pop. I would wire the WS-420 red to B+ and switch the orange turn-on along with the amp.
