Default amp wiring question

i have a question.. the blue wire from the head unit to the amp for remote power on. is that constant? like i wanna be able to add a switch to turn off the amp when i listen to talk radio (Opie and Anthony and Ron and Fez). if i put a switch in line of the remote turn on, will that cut the amp off when i throw the switch?

thanks
Brian

No...it's not constant.....it shuts the amp down when the stereo is shut off.

yeah...or you can wire the blue remote wire into the fuse for the raido so you don't need a switch...instead you're ignition acts as one...but as long as you ground out the opposite throw of that switch it works the same
