E60 Audio: Fitting an On/Off Switch for the Amp/Subs.

Even though my amp and subs turn off with the ignition I like to have a separate switch somewhere so they can be turned off manually when I don't want them on.

I fitted it at the back of the coin-tray in the centre of the dash so it's invisible and causes the least damage to the fascia, plus I plan to fit an aux. in there at some point too. This also keeps the extra-wiring needed to a minimum - I just snipped the remote-wire coming from the cigar-lighter and connected it to the back of the switch with two female-spade crimp-connectors.

I did this while the trim and fascia were removed during the remote-wire fitting in THIS POST.
