Remote wires wired to relay help
I got a relay since I have 4 components going that will need remote wires to and was wondering how to hook up the relay. Do you use the Alpine CD's remote to run to the relay and then tie in the other 4 components to it or what? Sorry for the dumb question, but I am new at this stuff.

Maybe similar.. But this is what I'm doing for my fans and lights..
Using a 30 amp SPDT relay, connect terminal #87 to constant 12 volts positive with a fuse rated to the sum of the additional accessories you've added and the components you need to turn on. (If you have two fans rated at 5 amps each and a neon light rated at 10 amps, you would use a 20 amp fuse plus 200 ma for each amplifier and processor.) Connect terminal #85 to ground, terminal #86 to the remote turn on lead from the head unit, and terminal #30 to each accessory with an appropriate fuse. A fuse (not shown) could also be used between the output of the relay (#30) and the remote turn on lead of the amplifiers and/or processors for extra precaution.
