View Full Version : Sub Kill Switch
Celticsfan 09-24-2006, 03:29 PM All i have 2 subs hooked up from when i bought the car, have an clarion amp and jvc headunit, ive tried to get rid of the bass but it just doesnt work, right now there unhooked but i would to have the bass just not all the time, is there anyway i can make on/off or kill switch for them?
Thanks
Slayer 09-24-2006, 08:12 PM On your CD player, do you have an ATT button that will kill the boost? If not just go to your amp, theres a bass boost button( some you can twist with your hand, some you need screwdriver or allen wrenches) just turn the boost down or even off. It's simple and it won't take you but two seconds.
Celticsfan 09-25-2006, 12:13 AM yeah the ATT button on mine just makes it quite, havent tried messing with the amp, but the thing is i want the bass for some music just not all the time...
Slayer 09-25-2006, 01:54 AM Well make up your mind before you drive, if you want the bass or not. if you want it turn the boost up if you dont turnit down. sorry i dont go as far as making personal switches in electronics, but hopefully this might get ya by.

Celticsfan 09-25-2006, 06:36 PM Exactly! Good thinking Thanks
PurpleStangEater 09-25-2006, 06:41 PM no problem bro just didnt want you to have to keep a screw driver in the back so you can adjust your bass every other song haha
chadimus06 09-26-2006, 08:25 PM this is a simple job. there should be a remote wire on your amp (usually blue). it runs to your headunit or to your fuse box. i ran mine to the fuse box. whereever its ran buy a toggle switch and run the wire to it and then to your amp. ive got six 12's and i needed one for tha cops cuz they hate my system. ive got the loudest system in county right now.

I think this would be a good way to go, and it really isnt very hard.. The whole time I was reading this, I figured "just use a toggle switch" but was thinking of what tire to hook it up to.. until i read that i completely forgot about the remote wire.. sounds like a good plan.. Should be simple and nothing bad about it..not to mention cheap.. just pick up a toggle switch that you like at radioshack or something and there u go.. good thinking chadimus.

shnormo 10-17-2006, 09:15 PM Get an AMC 390 motor :-D that would get it going lol. I've seen some pretty radical jeeps. 1984 Jeep Wrangler with a 7" lift, fiberglass body and a 350 motor. An old AMC Jeep with that 390!
B.T.W. Thanks for the compliment
