Switches Rated At 80 Amps?

[Bass4Lyfe]

So most amps are wired to the ACC on your key. My new amps for my new car will be wired to ACC to my key of course; but I also want a switch. So when the car is turned ON, if the switch is in the ON position (where it'll normally rest) the amps will turn on, like they should.

However, if I see a cop or if I want to test part of my system, etc. I want to be able to flip the switch and kill some of the amps.

My questions is ...

Say for example it's 1000 watts RMS.

So 1000 / 12 V is like 80 amps or so.

Where can I find a switch small enough but that is rated for like 80 or 100 amps? I don't want it to melt.

I've only seen these where I work (a solar company) in big DC disconnect form

Thanks guys

You do NOT wire a switch on the power wire....

A little switch on the remote wire (10-15 amp handling should be fine) is what you would do.

use the switch to power the remote turn on wire on/off. not the main amp battery wire. get atleast a 3amp rated 12 volt switch

And your main amp power wire goes straight to the batt, not the acc.
