Hi All,

I have a JBL GTO 75.4 II amp connected and Im wondering about the REM
feed.

My head unit doesn't have a remote feed to auto switch on (via the
REM) so I can either wire in a seperate switch and feed from the +12V
side or leave it on all the time. I dont want a switched live
otherwise the key will need to be in the ignition...

Question is how many Amps will the amp draw when its switched on but
not being driven by a head unit? In other words will it flatten my
battery over the weekend if i dont use the vehicle?


It will if you leave it parked at Stansted for a week. You wont know
this until you fly back at 2am though. DAMHIKetc.

Oh and that was on a switch which I obviously forgot to turn off.
