MaX Posted November 22, 2008 Report Share Posted November 22, 2008 So I'm finally gettin to put my system in (Two FI BL 12's and an AudioQ 2200) and I was wondering if I could put a toggle switch in between the power to the amp, so that if I needed to I could quickly turn the amp off. Anybody done this before? or is it even a good idea? any comments would help.

dbdrg Posted November 22, 2008 Report Share Posted November 22, 2008 You could put a toggle on the remote turn on wire, without any problems. If your looking to put it on the main power wire you would have to use a solenoid or a high current relay and trigger those to turn it on and off.

w87will Posted November 22, 2008 Report Share Posted November 22, 2008 As mentioned, Just wire your remote wire to the switch, then from the switch to your amps. I have this done to my two amps and use the switch every day without a problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

siucsaluki11 Posted December 29, 2008 Report Share Posted December 29, 2008 ive been thinkin when i do my new setup i may need to do this. my current system isnt anything special, but ive gotten pulled over for it before. The cops in my town arent bad, but some areas around me they can impound your car and ticket you $500. But thats in a kinda ghetto area. Im thinking a hidden toggle switch could possibly get me outta some shit. just If i think im gunna get pulled over hit the switch and say, officer, it couldnt have been me, my shits busted, has been for a while, lol.
