Amp Fans?

[500000watts 10+ year member]

I Have this old fan out of my computer, its sweet its a red led fan and i can cut off the harness and run it off of my car battery, i know its probly not nesacary for an amp fan but it would just be sweet to have it there, and i imagine it would keep the temp down a few degrees which i would see as a plus,

anyway can i just put the positive in remote turn on in the amp and then ground it,

would that work so then the fan will turn on with the amp?

You can run it off the remote turn on lead, but only if you use a relay.

I found this to help me figure out how to use a relay-

Special Applications with SPDT Relays

Look under the "Connecting Additional Devices to the Remote Turn On Wire" section.

It includes a diagram.

That I dont know.

Maybe one of more experienced installers here has an answer.

so when you hook up #30 to the acessory is that the positive or negative, i would guess its the positive and then you ground the acessory somewhere else?
