[QUOTE="Blackout67, post: 8893135, member: 683415"] You shouldn't need the power button once you switch to a switched ignition source. The reason you need that button now is cause the wire you stepped from the headunit that's red is a constant power wire. Meaning it's always sending power to keep the amp turned on. Switched sources eliminates that. Basically it will only turn on when you turn the car on. No waking up the neighbors unless you leave it on an active radio station with the volume cranked. As for which ones you can use, I'm not sure. I don't know what make/model you driver. Go on Google and type in "[Make/model/year] fuse diagram" it'll give you a list of the fuses and what they are used for. Usually they will also tell you if it's a switched source too. But if it doesnt you'd just have to go out with multi meter and test for yourself. It's pretty easy to do [/QUOTE]
