Re: Learned valuable lessons today!

I built my old car system up over a few years (81 Lemans early 90s),what i could afford.
still have it,it was still "new" to be loud then.
I remember when "twister" came to a local drive in,I ended up with all the kids in my car lol.
parents watching from outside,I needed a boost to leave lol.

I added a switch to turn off the base amp,instant off
1. I noticed i got charged up faster,off.
2. watch some amps have a "soft" relay type on,some don't.
But I could play a tune loud "no thump",get on the road,
away from the house,click/thump,so no fumbling around.

my trucks have an instant radio off switch.
79 stock it works with or without leaving the key.
