[QUOTE="Rashaddd, post: 5068886, member: 592162"] ^....yea that makes sense...and would explain it. current stays the same when they're wired in series, and since total power can't change, when impedence changes, voltage changes. The biggest load will control how much total current can pass, and each smaller load will pass the same amount of current, but a smaller load needs less voltage to pass the same current, causing it to step down the voltage at that point. Which is why my switch would see barely any voltage compared to the amp seeing the full 12. Now, is there any way around this? I want the switch to behave as it does when I take the amp out of the circuit, but i want it to do that, with the amp in the circuit. [/QUOTE]
