   Sorry, i'm pretty noob to wiring, but you've got to learn somewhere
   
   Just wondering how i would go about wiring a switch to turn a sub-woofer on and off? or if this is possible?
   I'v prepared where i want it to go etc. Has anyone done this before?
   Any help greatly appreciated

   Just connect it to the remote wire on your headunit, so its only active when your headunit is on.
   
   Won't forget and leave it turned on and less fiddling when you get in and out the car.

   Wire it up as normal then but put a switch in the remote wire, therefire it should work as normal, but you can turn it off when ever you want.
   
   This should work, but never tried it tbh.

   Ive done this, just switch the remote wire (blue / white) that way it will turn off the wire going to the amp that the sub runs off wihtout turning off any other speaker
