situation=have multiple amps powering various spkrs,i want to put a on/off switch in line of the remote sense turn on for just one of the amps. to turn off/on that particular amp and spkrs at any given time(while system is on).
question=will turning off/on the amp while the system is running cause a "pop"? if so is there a cure?
thank you anyone for any help!

If your amp is of decent quality, there should be no pops during turn on or turn off. Is there any pop right now? If no, then there SHOULDN'T be any later...

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 would say puttin a switch is kinda bad thats why they make the remote turn on on a HU but ive also done wat u hav done before it all depends on the amp size and the wire and get the right kind of switch for that type of amperage and wire .. i had a red turn on switch with an  10 gauge runnin to it pushin 800 watts and it melted so i stopped puttin switches on my amps thats jus my opinon

putting toggles on the remote wires wont hurt. it would be better to get a deck with sub-output on it.

best thing to do is get a H/U with sub control so you can turn your subs on and off if its your sub amp that you are trying to turn on and off
