Yes.

Phono (i.e. unamplifed) signal outputs & a remote (turn on) signal.

You will still need a 12v supply from the battery to the amp itself.

I might be wrong but think he was meaning some other kind of leads {did mention power from battery also} I believe he was saying them plugs like in back of telly red yellow white things ?? I could be wrong I dont know how these things work :o

An amp needs:

12v power cable (from the battery)
Ground cable (to the chassis)
Remote cable (from the HU - tells the amp to turn on)
RCA cables (from the HU - the signal the amp is to amplify)
Speaker output (to the speakers).

The DD unit has a remote / RCA output like you want.
