Simple question.
I'm doing a little project and I need to know one thing.
Does the amp remote wire NEED a constant 12V [or a little higher?] to work. Or say will around 9-12 Be fine?
Thanks.

If your wondering as to what I'm doing I can post pics later, just that they are on my laptop and thats about 40km away... BUt I can have them up by tomorrow @ lunch.
Sorry for double post, can't edit :(
no your amp turn on wire does not need to be an exact 12 volts, you just need some type of power to tell your amp to turn on

Are you sure of that? I know amps pull varying amounts amperage from the remote, but I thought the voltage must remain at 12 volts.

it is not going to be a consistant 12 volts anyway, say that you have 4 subs runnin off 2 amps at a 1 ohm load without any upgrades to your alternator, battery, or having a cap. your cars voltage is going to drop down no matter what so it is not going to be a consistant 12 volts
So if I throw a led in series with the remote wire than that should be fine?

I'm sorry for the above.
The forward voltage is < = 4.5
