installing a switch on my subs - how?

[eisenhower 10+ year member]

My ascendant audio atlas has adjustable qts depending on wether or not there is a jumper cable between 2 terminals.

on high qts, its gets really loud but sounds poopy, on low qts it sounds incredible, but loses output.

I have seen people install a switch on the terminal to change the qts from outside the box. What do I need to do this, and how do I do it? Thanks.

Just a regular old switch will do. You'd just connect each side of the switch to a terminal.

You sure the switch won't melt or something?

A high current automotive switch will be fine. Take how many watts / volts you're running and then get a switch with the amperage that is over or right on that number.

So if you're running 400w / 14.4v = 27A

Well not everyone runs 14v constant especially with a audio system so i get one for a bit higher amperage b/c lower the voltage the more current your amp will draw.
