[QUOTE="maylar, post: 8130039, member: 541144"] Any amp will draw some current when the internal power supply is running, even with no audio. It sounds like the switch he's using is having issues. But the guys before are right - you should NOT be switching the power wires, especially the ground. There are likely other paths to ground that the current could take when the switch is off, like through RCA cables to the source. Those currents could hurt whatever the amp is connected to. [/QUOTE]
