Is it safe to jump the remote wire to three amps?
I have three amps in my car. Before i hook them all up i was wondering if i it was safe or not to just run the remote wire from my deck into the first amp then run it from that amp into the second amp and from the second amp into the third amp. I've heard people say it is safe and others say it's not. If not, how would i hook them all up? Thanks for the help

WOW! Some REALLY bad answers.
conejote_99 is the ONLY one who is correct.
Each amp will draw a certain amount of current for the REM wire. The head unit can only supply so much. If you exceed the current draw, you will damage the REM circuitry in the head unit.
Use a relay!!!!
no it is not safe 3 amplifier required more current ,
remote out from radios only have under 0.5 of amp
and it can burn also remote out don't have a fuse
no again it is not safe
The best way will be to add a small relay,scroll on this list for the remote turn on wire diagram

you can do that, or run it in parallel by splitting the wires at a point and feeding them to the amps, that way they will all turn on/shut off at once. Just a warning: don't let that wire touch the 12v or ground wire with all the fuses in.
yeah thats cool do big deal but when you shut the car off there will be a lil delay for all the amps to go off but your good
Its fine. All your passing is a audio signal. No power, no wattage, no ground. In other words... yes its safe.
You should be fine. I have done it that way on a number of different installs.
yes
