what gauge should my turn on wire be for my amp?

Doesn't have to be big, only uses a couple millivolts. 18 gauge is fine, 20 works, too.

yea you could really turn the amp on with one strand of copper wire....its very low voltage......

Yeah I read somewhere that it was a pretty low voltage, but I wasn't sure how big it really needed to be...I guess I should have just looked at the wire coming out of my receiver derrrrrrrrrr

thanks for the help though!

you can overdo it though....it takes a lot but there does come a point where using a relay helps

yea like my truck. i run a 14gage remote lead because i have fans powerd and led powerd by the remote lead. we also used a relay because my component amps wouldnt turn on due to the fact the fans and other amps were taking to much of the power. added a relay poof fixed the problem
