on and off amplifier switch

how do i hook up a switch to my amp, from my factory radio. to turn the amp on and off?stay focusedddddddd!!!!!!!!!

If you are talking about a switch so you can turn off the amp while the radio is still on, then you can add a switch to the remote wire.

You could use a switch like this

Adding switches like that one can be hazardess. What happens if you forget to turn it off.. Dead battery. If you tap into the factory 12v+ switch power wire you dont have to worry about it cause when the radio is off the amp is off.. Makes like alot easier.. no cutting nothing.. just tap it and run your remote. Makes life alot easier

thanks to all. i have 1 more question. where can i find the wire diagram for my factory radio harness? so that i can find out which wires in my radios factory harness are speaker wires? i have to connect a line output converter to my factory radio.(it converts my speaker wires into rca jacks) please helppppp!!!!!!stay focusedddddddd!!!!!!!!!

Yes, of course use the remote turn on lead from behind your radio to run through the switch. That way in case you forget to turn the switch off you won't run down your battery. You really don't need a switch for an amp unless you don't want it on all the time when you are listening to your music (like if you don't want your subs playing). You should really just use the remote turn on lead behind the dash and go directly to your amp with it. This will turn your amp on and off with the radio, defeating the purpose of the seperate switch.

oops, sorry, didn't realize that he was using "factory" radio. Yeah, 12V power to your radio would be the wire to tap into. Did you try looking for the wire diagram on this site? I would, but I'm eating...

i looked for it but didnt find it- aggie.please helpstay focusedddddddd!!!!!!!!!

Do as customsuburb says. Use the remote wire from the radio to turn on the amps. Best way. No cutting nor forgetting to turn off and running the risk of a dead battery.
