Run a hidden kill switch. When your mom finds the subs visually, you can simply say a friend hooked you up with them but it doesn't work (see mom, no bass). No money wasted, you were just trying something out.

just tell her she will find out anyway, they always do. it's not like your smokin crack or somthing. she will get over it. or just blame you dad that will work. your mom can't be that bad that she'll flip out over a sub. oh what a tangled web we weave when first we practice to deceave.

Ok..here's my 2 cents:

Add a switch (auto zone $2.99) to your remote wire and show your mom how to use it.  And when she doesn't need the bass then she simply can just turn it off.  When you're in the car you can turn it on.  Plus it'll help if you go in the "wrong" kind of neighborhood and don't want to give it away that you got somethin in the trunk.  That way you and her are both happy and dad doesn't get blamed for anything.

Bonny, the universal solution to this is to install a kill switch, regardless of how it is used.  Go to a hardware store, autozone, whatever, and buy a toggle switch for a couple dollars.  Then, when you hook up your system you will notice that the amp will have several wires going into it.  There is the wire you run from your battery, the wire for your ground, whatever speaker wires in and out of the unit, then one more that is known as a remote wire.  This runs straight from your head unit to the amp and tells it when to turn on or off.  Simply cut that wire and put the switch in it, that way you can turn the amp on or off at will (assuming the HU is on) and therefore control the subs.

Toggle switch is what i did, sometimes I would take my grandparents around in my car and they didn't like the bass either, neither does my dad, so I just installed a switch so that way it could be turned on and off at will. I got one of the lighted led ones from Autozone, but then again my parents wouldn't care about my subs unless they are sitting in the back seat.
