I am pushing two 5.6 headrest screens, 2 amps, and two caps, along with a head unit. Should I use just one SPDT realy or two?? Thanks!!

What are you trying to do with the relay?

I know that if I am cycling a remote turn on through two amps and caps, that something will blink or eventually burn out my head unit. I know that I need a relay, to relay the power to each item, as needed. That is what I want to do with the relays.

you should not need a bunch of them, just one of the bugger relays.
