uh, stick the switch somewhere in your remote wire going to your amps? lol

If it only has two wires it should be as simple as adding the switch inline between your radio and your sub amp in the remote turn on line. Basically one wire is an input and one is an output. If its only an on off switch and isn't lighted you can't really hook it up wrong as long as its connected inline in the remote turn on lead. Doesn't sound like it is lighted if it only has two terminals/ wires .

i can honestly say i know how to answer this...

run your remote from the deck into it, and run your remote to your amp from the other terminal.. since theres no power going thru it(other than remote) there is no need for a ground or power going into it. if you had one of the light up ones then youll need to ground it. outside of that thats all it is. wire your remote from deck into it, and wire the remote from switch to amp. voila your done
