Amp and PAC SOEM-T question! Ok well I just recieved part of my sound system package from Kee Audio. I bought the front components, sail coaxials (2001 Trans Am with monsoon), a 5 channel amp, an AK4 amp wiring kit and two PAC SOEM-T. My questions are:
1. How should I split the power to the two PAC SOEM-T? I do not want to disturb or tap in the amp's thick continuous 12v cable because I know I don't need such a thick cable for the PAC's. Should I just run another wire from the battery to a distributor block and then feed the two PAC's? Or run a wire from the amps 12v post to the distributor block and then feed the two PAC's?
2. Can I tap in to the remote wire that comes from the Head Unit to the monsoon amp and hook it up to a distributor block then feed the amp and the two PAC's(if they even need it, explanation on question number 3)?
3. There is a blue wire on the PAC's. From what I understand on the instructions, this blue wire is the remote signal to turn on the amp
If that is the case, how does the PAC receive the remote signal to pass it to the amp? Does is get the signal just by the speaker wire inputs?

1. The SOEM-T requires constant (battery) power rather than switched power. One possible option would be to use the orange wire at the power antenna. It has constant power and the small current draw of the SOEM-T would not be a problem.
2. There is no remote wire on a Monsoon system. The amp turns on using signal sensing.
3. The PAC instructions don't specify but it appears that the SOEM-T also uses signal sensing to energize its remote turn-on output wire.

Ok well I guess I will tap in to the orange wire from the antenna, good idea. And I think thought so too about the signal sensing remote on the SOEM-T's. Ok I'll give it a try as soon as I get the rest of the stuff. One other question, where can I find a remote signal wire for the amp?
