Even a RBC2 UPS battery would only hold the memory for about 10 days. These Pioneer head-units are great but do they ever suck a lot of power when turned off.

So I built this circuit with the A23 and diode in it and the diode works fine. The A23 on the other hand only holds the memory for about 2 hrs. This is on a Pioneer AVH-X5800BHS double-din unit. So this head unit must be drawing a good bit of current (~27ma) to hold the memory. That's means it's...

You're going to add some impedance just from the length of the speaker-wire run so I'd say you'll probably be ok. If not, you'll know because the amp will start to overheat.

I have a car stereo head unit in a boat that only has the marine batteries connected when the boat is in the water. When the boat is on the hard the batteries are disconnected and therefore the head unit is always losing it settings. I'm thinking of using a little A23 12v battery connected to...
