you can use the rmd on any amp if you cut the one end off.

The original zx amps did not have the plugs but the Ti amps did.
what else can I say I am a grumpy asshole most of the time.

The ZX amps do have a plug for it. My 450 does. If it's what I'm thinking. RDM and LPL plugs.

Pretty sure the RMD works on the Ti distro's that use the KF fuses as well.

It works on any distro with a minor change that takes a soldering iron, about 2 inches of wire and 10minutes of time 8)

The small Ti amps only have an RDDP port unfortunately

So you need to convert this:

I will be doing this for a friend coming up here soon, so looking at those diagrams, on the RDDP you only need pins 5 and 7 wired to pins 1 and 3 on the RMD, and the other 2 from the RMD you just ground? Is that how it works?

Very true, but it just plugs into the Ti KF block with no modification needed right? I swear I read that on here....

Damn, I was close! Thanks for the info! I might have just come across one of those fuse holders, so my problems might be solved, but it great to have a backup plan :D
