Supreme Cutlass Posted September 27, 2005 Report Share Posted September 27, 2005 assuming that you're cutting positive for the toggle, the middle would be your hot wire, and the outer ones go to your amp/ whatever you want to give power to.... I think..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supreme Cutlass Posted September 27, 2005 Report Share Posted September 27, 2005 ah, I only caught toggle switch, sorry. Wouldn't the power go straight through the light? Just to be sure, when you say toggle you mean Up- acessory 1 middle- off down- accessory 2 right? if that's true and there's only three prongs........

Garrett Powered Posted September 27, 2005 Report Share Posted September 27, 2005 OH! what you need is a circuit breaker. I use a 100A Monster cable unit for mine. What you would do is use the blue wire off the deck and run it to the switch if you are going that route. The remote wire. But solder and shrink wrap the wire ends so you dont pop the remote circuit. The blue wire should have a fuse in line on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terryk2003 Posted September 28, 2005 Report Share Posted September 28, 2005 if its going from the radio...the wire from the radio would go into the top of the switch, ground would go in the middle, and the wire going to the amp would be the bottom one!...

totalsleeper Posted October 15, 2005 Report Share Posted October 15, 2005 hey there, i hooked up a toggle switch for my amps before and what u need to do is run your wire from the deck to the top prong then the one for the amp on the next on down and the last one should be your ground!

That is not always true. one is the signal wire, and the other two serve as the power OR ground. Depending on how you hook it up. There is nowhere to put a switch in my car so I got a wireless switch box from Autozone for 40 bucks. It comes with a 4 button remote with a on/off switch on it. AND it has one of the buttons got a momentary switch too ! For flashing your parking lights and ward off theives Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
