Does anyone see issues with

running accessiories into the power and ground of an amp. For example I have a power, gnd and remote wire all running with the power wires and remote under the same screw terminal as my AMP wiring. Does anyone see an issue with this?

I definitely am a weekend hack when it comes to stereo installs.

I have a 12 volt auxiliary plug ground to my amp... (battery to hard to get to) with no problem or interference on sub. If I read correctly you are only connecting stereo wires to it.... I wouldn't worry about it as long as your getting good contact and a nice snug connection. Is your amp ground back to the battery terminal?

Do you have it grounded only or are you also pulling power off the AMP?

Prairie, I just answered you PM

grounded only have power coming from Accessory fuse #3 on dash so I can start/ stop pump with the button...

thx again for pm

Crad - when you are mentioning the screw are you referring to a distributed power and ground block? If that is the case I think the only consideration I would look into is fusing that accessory wire you are talking about adding - I doubt the small wire can handle the current coming from the battery should you have an electrical issue come up

When you consider powering a component, you must do a basic load analysis...i.e. determine the amperage draw on the circuit. And the circuit is defined as Bat+ to Bat- (or visa versa). So you need to consider voltage drops across bolt or screw joints, wire gauge size, length of wire run, component rated peak amperage draw (not in-rush current) or power draw in watts. If you can do this and your calculated amperage on the circuit is not larger than the fuse that's protecting the circuit or larger than the rated amperage capacity for any of the individual components...then you can wire it any way you want to. There are other things to consider...but the rules above are the basics.

maybe i miss read.... is this a remote for the amp to power on off with the deck? or a remote key pad for the deck? not really needing an answer but I assumed you meant remote for amp...

It's best not to. Get a good distribution block like this.

Sometimes you can solve ground loop problems by doing it.

Kicker recommends it as a way to fix noise issues.
