What is the remote turn on wire for?
When the ignition of the vehicle is turned off, the remote turn on wire stops transferring voltage and the amplifier turns off. If the remote turn on wire is connected to a wire in the vehicle that has constant voltage, the amplifier will always be on.

But if you wanted to turn the amplifier off you could flip the switch to off which would stop the flow of 12 volts to the amplifier’s remote turn on terminal. There are also units that will sense the voltage on the head unit’s speaker wires and then send a +12 volt signal to the remote wire.
