The amp definetly needs a remote turn on but the loc doesn't unless the instructions say so.

loc's are passive devices and don't require any sort of turn-on

Not necessarily... I have installed MANY line-outs that required a power lead. As one current example, the JLAudio "CleanSweep" is really an LOC, (albeit with signal processing capabilities) and DEFINITELY an active device (meaning it needs a power lead). Rockford also has one... the 3Sixty. Also VERY active, and effectively a LOC, again, with signal processing capabilities...

Blanket statements like that can be dangerous.

It all reminds me of something that Molière once said to Guy de Maupassant at a café in Vienna: "That's nice. You should write it down."
