Will amp turn on without remote wire?
Amplifiers do not have to use the remote off of your deck. You can use any suitable power source. The only thing you want to make sure is that you find a source the turns off with your key otherwise you may end up draining the battery.
Does the remote wire have to be connected?
The remote turn on wire must be connected to part of the vehicle’s electrical system that only turns on when the ignition is in the ACCESSORY or ON position.
Can you use speaker wire for remote wire?

If you have a head unit without an amp controller line, then simply use the wire that normally drives the power antenna. This will go to 12v when the unit is operated.
