Add a Kill Switch to a Car AMP?

[hassy786]

Hi there,

I have a Car AMP and Subwoofer which I am going to connect to my Computer using a Car Battery however I would like to add a KILL SWITCH to it, so I can choose to turn it on whenever I like.. This is a Kill Switch I found from Ebay..

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/12V-250V-MINI-RED-ROCKER-SWITCH-ON-OFF-2PIN-SPST-TOGGLE-6A-10A-Dashboard-Car-/251395904090?pt=UK_BOI_Electrical_Components_Supplies_ET&var=&hash=item3a885d125a

How would I connect this kill switch to the AMP? The AMP has 3 wires.. 12V..REMOTE and GROUND. The AMP has 2 40A Fuses in it so when purchasing a kill switch do I also look for a 40A kill switch?

Thank You! Will choose best answer!

the 12V is the power, the remote is the turn on signal from the head unit and the ground is the ground. You would only need the red and black.

Is there any way you can do a quick drawing to show how the kill switch connects to the wires?

I am already aware of the wires, I just have no idea how to connect them to the kill switch and then back to the AMP ? :S
