yea i got the ok from my dad to go ahead and get some sub woofers, they are on their merry way to his office. see mom does not need to kno about them and i was just wondering if anyone has any ideas as to how to get around mom hearing them (besides turning stereo down, she often drives my car) she is too dumb to look in the trunk but a friend suggested a 'kill switch', i dunno anything about that but anybody have any other ideas or would care to explain how to install a kill switch, your help would be greatly appreciated.

thanks

why dont you just put a remote gain controll on the amp and hide it up underneath the dash or somewhere like that and just turn it down when she is gonna drive the car?

On allot of aftermarket head units with pre outs for the sub you can turn the sub off. What make and model head unit do you have? Another option would be to put a switch on the remote wire for your sub amp.

Kill switch on the remote is the best, but you could just pull the fuses in your distrobution block when you are a block from home... or wait until you get your own car...
