Okay so I have a basic understanding of doing the wiring for my sub system using this guide.


How to Wire an Amp to a Sub and Head Unit: 12 steps - wikiHow

My question is, how can I wire a on and off switch to the system? I know at some times, when I have a head ache or just get tired of the bass I will wanna quite them down but I dont know how to wire that up..?

Any help?

toggle switch on the ACC line will do it too.

or get an amp with a remote gain, turn knob all the way off when you dont want bass.
Most sub amps have this nowdays anyway.

You should be able to turn your system on or off anytime from your head unit. If not, there should be a switch on your amp
