Default Is this normal

I got my stereo installed the other day and everything seems to be normal. I usually auto start, but today I just put the key in and started it the old fashioned way and my stereo didn't turn on for what felt like a long minute. The screen came on and everything, but that's it. Is this normal, do the amps need to warm up or doing anything or are they supposed to pop off instantly? After they turned on, everything was cool, but it seemed weird that it delayed.

Where do you have the remote turn on wired for the amps? If fuse box they should turn on right away if you have the correct fuse.

Not sure where it's wired to honestly. I'll have to ask them. I'm a complete novice when it comes to this.

Hopefully, the shop used a relay for the fix and amps. I guess they didn't.
