Default if i install fans in my glove box for my amp can i.............

can i wire them both (im going to drill very carefully a buncha holes in the glove compartment door so that on the inside of that door im going to mount 2 fans, 1 blowing fresh air in and one pulling air out, question is can i wire them BOTH directly to the remote and ground of my amp, or would this cause issues n fry the amp or mess something up?!?!?

not sure about that, but is it a remote out on the amp, or the remote in from the head unit. If its the in, that probably wouldn't work, because its really low current. I put a fan in mine, but I wired it into the cigarette lighter, and for a while had an on/off switch I also mounted with it (later took out cause I never used it). One fan is probably sufficient, blowing into the compartment. I had it blowing out, but still had overheating, so I reversed it and have no problems now.

I would not run the fans right of the remote wire from the deck, but instead have the a 12v relay that is turn on by the remote also.

While the relay will switch the 12v from the power that your running the amp on or 12v from the cig lighter

it has the same thing in the deck if something happens the fuse will blow so you would have no power at all

In some decks it will blow out the remote turn on wire. I would just run a 1/2 amp fuse in the line just to be safe. It really should be okay though.

True running it off the deck you stand the chance of blowing the internal fuse. With a power outlet/cig lighter right next to the glove box why dont you just tap that line.

If you hook them to the cig lighter they will only be on when the car is on accessory or on anyway.
