As said, simple switch (Halfords etc do them too) and your off! If its one that lights up you'll need an earth wire too, but other than that just the remote lead - cut into that between your HU and your amp - jobs a good'un!

yeppo,deffo going witrh the majority here,it should be pretty easy to put a switch in the remote switch line for the amp,or you could just switch the live.i used to have a pikey way of doing this and pulled the fuse out of the amp when i didnt want my sub running!

TEAM-P FTW!!!!!

Sounds good!
Dont do it Eds way with the live though LOL
If your car hasnt got all the extras there may already be a slot spare where you can pop out the plastic cover and slide a switch in, have a look around

Well you know switches for things like A/C, fog lights etc - they normally have their own switch position. If you dont have it (as an extra), its filled with a dummy switch or just a blank like slot - you could adapt so your sub switch fits inline with the rest of your dash layout... if that makes sense?
