[QUOTE="squeak9798, post: 1653374, member: 555320"] [URL="http://www.the12volt.com/relays/page5.asp#stbm"]http://www.the12volt.com/relays/page5.asp#stbm[/URL] Should give you some ideas on how to do it with relays. Though I think finding a relay capable of handling that much current will be hard to do. My suggestion would be to run larger speaker wire than typical (to decrease resistance since the wires will be longer), and run wires from both subwoofers up to your center console area and the wires from the amplifier output up to the center console area. Then go over to PE and buy some banana plugs and a pair of binding posts. Mount the binding posts somewhere easily accessible, and connect the amplifier outputs to the binding posts. Then put the banana plugs on the input wires to each subwoofer...that way you can easily unplug one subwoofer and plug in the other. Not as slick and just flipping a switch...but still pretty easy to do. [/QUOTE]
