is the remote wire a constant power supply or does it only act as a switch, it powers up to switch the devices on then no power runs through it?

im running mine next to my RCA at the moment (havent got my new amp cause mine blew) and i just wanted to know, cause if its a constant power supply im gonna move it over next to my power cable.

TIA

 

The remote wire has a constant signal going through it when the head unit is on.

 

Your remote wire is a remote turn on wire the wire acts as a switch in the sense the when you HU is one the remote wire out puts 12V turning on you amps or whatever. The remote wire does have power running through it the entire time the HU is on. However, the amount of power running throug it is very little. You will have no problem with inducted noise by running your remote wire with your RCA's. I always run the remote wire with the RCA's its much easier that way.

sweet thanks, now i dont have to tear out the center part where my shifter is again. just to fix it

 

i think it should be ok, I ran my red wire on the left, and my remote and RCA on the right

 

Some rca cables even come with a remote wire. Shouldn't be a problem.
