That way you can choose whether or not to listen to your radio with the amp on or off and do not have to worry about draining the batt due to the fact the power will be cut once you remove the keys. I've set up alot of stereos that way so my buddies can turn off the big subs when they have kiddos in the car, and have never had any issues.
This method would be my preferred install. Question, how would i wire this? If i hook the speaker wires up to the Amp (as in my drawing) and not the Radio, will everything still work if the Amp is not on?
