[QUOTE="eengrms, post: 193514, member: 547046"] Yeah I agree. The remote wire is the only one you should switch. You would never want to switch the power wire. Something I might suggest is hooking up the switch still to your stereo's remote lead. That way still no matter what your amp won't be on if the stereo isn't. That would be the cleanest way. That way you don't have to remember to always switch it on and off, especially if you hooked the switch to a constant source. You could forget to switch off the amp and it could drain your battery when the car is off. Never ever ever ever hook the remote lead of an amp to a constant source, even through a switch. [/QUOTE]
