Hi guys n gals, it's been a while. I am working on a relay system for my car audio system. I don't know much about relays and the rules for proper use(noob). Here is the scenario:
2006 S ion xB with crappy JVC head unit
I have 2 amplifiers
I need 2 fans, one for each due to the amplifier locations

Using the head unit remote turn on how would I design the relay system and install it to turn on fans and amps without introducing noise to the amplifiers? Thank you for the knowledge.

I have yet another question... rabbit hole chain of thought. If all devices are on the relay will there be a "thump" as the amps power up?

The amplifier has a bit of a delay. It will not play anything until a bit of time. If you do have some kind of pop we should be able to eliminate it.
