i got a street wires amp kit that has a remote turn on lead attached to the RCA's. Wont that cause some signal noise if i run them together? also what are my options as far as which wire to connect my remote turn on to...amp power wire...HU power wire...switched 12+? If i run RCA's next to existing stock wiring (ie. tail light wiring etc in the side paneling) will it cause signal noise?

Thanks

Peace

If you do not want the remote turn on wire that comes with the rca's, don't use it. just get some 16-18 gauge wire and run it along with your amp power cable. but its probably not going to interfere with the signal any way.

The remote turn must be connected to the designated connection on your deck. i.e. the Remote+. If you connect it to another constant or the power antenna, the amp will remain on at all times or only if the radio is on.

Hopefully the other factory wires will not interfere with the signal path, usually they don't. if they do you may need to re-route your rca's or or increase the the signal voltage

The amp turn on wire shouldnt have enough power moving through it to interfere with the RCAs.

agreed. The current going through those turn-on wires is usually less than one ampere and I've never had any problems running it next to RCAs.

Just so you know, the wire attached to the RCA's is NOT intended to act as a remote turn on wire (although it will work with no problems). If you decide to run a seperate remote, I suggest running it with your power wire, although I have never experienced interference from a remote wire run with RCA/speaker wire.
