> Remote just supply’s a 12V signal to the amp; when the amp is supossed to be on; you should have 12V there.

Actually you are incorrect. The remote turn on does NOT give you 12 volts at all. It is more like 1 volt, it is a low voltage remote turn on, that is why you do not have to fuse it. It is used for amps, power antennas and the like as just a signal to kick the relay and switch it on to 12 volts.
