No... pretty much any switch would work. I'd still recommend around a 5A rating though.

It all reminds me of something that Molière once said to Guy de Maupassant at a café in Vienna: "That's nice. You should write it down."

I have a led switch its has 3 prongs the basic 2 and a ground . Since I'm wring these to some tweeters and they are reciving signal verses power is it safe to power the led on the switch

You should not try to use the LED. If you insist on using the LED you would have to make the switch control 2 seperate relays (or a single DPDT relay).
