And aren't they supposed to turn on automatically when they detect speaker level signal?

Nope..it doesn't have one.. but the ignition turn on for the HU itself will do just as well.. just tap into it [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG]

you can.. but that's a constant power source..your amps would never turn off [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG].. never go easier..always do thigns as complicated as you can..[IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG]it makes life so much more fun.

Hey Mohawk,

I got it to work it's cool. Yeah it's on constantly but I'll be fixing that as soon as I get a vacation from work and I'm not lazy haha. I have a cheapo RF 10" hooked up to the MTX 250x It puts out 425watts I believe I'm not sure... I'll be getting an EBC (EBC) from Crutchfield. Anyways long question short:

Can I add 2 12"s to it so I'll have 2 12"s and 1 10"? do you think that Amp can Power it out? AND Have you ever seen that setup in one box or is it even possible?

I just used a Relay to power my amp. The relays by the battery, and is turned on by a switch which i installed in the car, so i can turn the amp on and off whenever i want, without having to turn off my radio. So if you cant get your remote turn on lead to work, stick in a relay, it costs about 4 bucks or something.
