Funny use for switch...

[undeadxsunshine 10+ year member]

So while me and my friend were at radio shack we found this big *** switch that has it's own little flip cover and everything. So we decided to get it to mount in my car somewhere. We thought it would be funny if it actually did something ridiculous. My car is pretty much a beater so we think it'll be kinda funny if we just do some ridiculous shit with it. Thing is we can't come up with a really good idea for what the switch could do. I already thought about it turning on some neons or something like that, or using it as a kill switch for my sub. Can you think of anything funny we could have it work?

Yep. Train horn. Though I use one of the glowing skull LED switches for my REM switch in another system. I am working on my current build, which will have a 1/2 and full volume switch (10kohm resistor from the HU out) and it will either bypass or go through the resistor to give the amp full volume. I am going to wire that resistor to one of the switches you're talking about, and make it so you have to lift the cover and flip the switch to get full volume. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

I was thinking about this, but isn't it like a lot of money for everything you need?

Wire it up to the air bags in the car or slpice it inline with the break lights so people behind you rear end you.

hook it up to a blow up doll that pops up from under the passenger seat? have it hooked to the converter that is hooked to a pump to blow the doll up

Or if you really want to have some fun do what I did. Wire the passenger seat sensor to the horn so everytime someone sits in the passenger seat the horn will go off.

Or if you wanted to play a joke on a friend wire a starter kill relay to the head lights so when they are turned on it kills the car.

Na, the siren was for the gas guage and windsheild wipers. I also wired the passenger seat sensor to the horn. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif
