40.1 remote lead question?

Recommended Posts

Been asking a few people with 40.1s about the ones i just bought, but ill ask here as well:

Have heard i need to run remote from batt because 40.1 needs 12v remote to turn on?

Cant have them touch, or they protect?

Also, has anyone else had to give them RCA input to turn on?

(As in for them to power up they need RCA plugged in and radio on vol 1?)

Do they like higher rca voltage, say that of a MaxxLink?

Just askin before i put these in

Thanks

The remote already is 12v from your head unit...

Ive heard from 2 separate people running 40.1s, that they used a toggle switch and hooked remote straight from battery

ok? Still it's not required. Might have been mandated by their installs.

So youve ran one with remote off HU?

They probably did it just so they could have hu powered up and not the amps as to not drain the batteries before a burp. Why would we make an amp that you couldn't use in a conventional daily install? Of course you can run your 40.1 using the remote power from the head unit.

Gotcha
