Hey

Im just getting a cheap (like $35 cheap) sub&amp for my VP, Until my bank lets me go for a decent sub setup.

Im planning on using velcro to secure it down, But im just wondering, If I need to remove it quick, whats the best/safest way to remove it without having a live cable flapping around in the boot and the need of tools to remove?

Basically, Incase I need to put something into the boot, I want to be able to have this thing out fast and using 2 hands...

I was thinking maybe inline fuse so I can just twist and remove, But then there is still the ground which Ill need a screwdriver and a bit of ####ing around to remove...

Oh, forgot to mention, Ill be using 8ga coming off the distribution block under my parcel shelf...

Let me know

VKC

EDIT: also forgot to mention, as this is a temp setup and the amp is already mounted on the back of the sub, thats where it is staying unless I can find a way to do what I want (above)

Put a switch on the remote turn-on (REM) wire. Switch off means amp won't turn on. Or just unplug the sub wiring at the amp, even if the amp is turned on and has input it will no nothing, since it has close to infinite resistance it will output nothing.

Just mount the amp to the back of the rear seats, or underneath the parcel shelf and run your sub wires to the sub box with banna clips on the wires to just plug and play,...

When you want to move the sub, just unplug it and leave the amp behind?

Banana plugs for the win! Just make sure they have plenty of insulation around them so no harm when they bounce of each other.

That is actually what I decided to do, Ive already got 2 amps under the parcel shelf so Ill try to figure out where to mount this one.

As acar.. said Ill put a switch on the remote so when it is unplugged it isnt using power (for when im using it with the car off) and just unplug the cables out of the sub... I removed the cables out of the sub and it literally takes less than 2 seconds, Just push and remove

Thanks for the help guys :D

mount the amps under the front seats...
whats the point in running power and rca cables all the way to the boot, only to run speaker cables all the way back to the front doors?
