I had to do this before, and i just pulled the fuse on the power wire, so as not to have any problems there. Then, for the remote lead, just put a wire nut, or in a pinch, electrical tape, around it. The RCA's should be fine just hangin' around in the trunk. Just turn off your sub out (if you have one). That kills any signal going thru the RCA's.

yup ,take the pos cable off the battery and you have pretty much saved yourself alot of "maybe"

use electrical tape on the wires

or just disconnect the speaker leads, and u can pull the box right out.

That doesnt do much good if the amp is on the box. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Although I'm guilty of doing it myself, Duct Tape supposedly is composed of tiny metal fibers that COULD short out. So it's probably best bet to electrical tape

you may have to buy an extractor screw set to remove the screw.

if you don't want to then just cut the wire maybe 1ft long past the terminal. when you need to wire the speaker back onto the amp just wire it up at the splice and connect it. would be used for temp untill you get that screw replaced.
