Turn on/off thump from the amp.

finally found some info, looks like a surge from the headunit and it was suggested I could put a relay imbetween, any tips on doing that?
I don't think a relay is going to help in this case (turn on/off thump).

But if you want to try it, heres how you wire it up:

87: constant +12V
87a: not used
85: ground
86: remote turn on lead from headunit
30: output to amp. wire to remote turn on the amp

You need a 12V automotive spst or spdt relay. SPDT will have a terminal labeled 87a, but you won't use it. SPST does not have 87a.
