Like Sean said, they have an internal relay, and use the "thin blue wire" to tell the amplifier to turn on. Personally, I installed a switch in line with this wire because if I'm just chilling around my truck with the engine off, I'd like to save the battery and the life of the amp. Also I turn the switch off if I'm quickly moving my truck to another parking spot or something where I don't want the amp to turn on for no reason. (the stereo stays set to ON all the time)

If I don't use relays, would I still need to run power directly from the battery to power, say, 3 switches?
Edit: it would probably be easier to just scroll up to them, every post of mine has at least one and they make more sense in context.
