Speaker switch as a remote wire toggle?
Would I be able to somehow use the speaker switch as a toggle for a remote wire that will be powering a amp in my tour pack?
the main reason for this is so I can just “flip” the switch to turn off the rear speakers if we are talking.
i have a 2007 ultra classic. Running a arc moto 600.4 up front pushing four Hertz 165.1 & a pair of Hertz ST35’s.
thr tour pack amp is a Arc ks125.2 pushing two Polk MM6502’s.
I just installed the newer Aquatic deck, & I will be using a rca splitter from the deck to both amps, sorry if I just “faded” the speakers, it would always fade two of the hertz up front.
anyways, if someone has done this, or it can be done, let me knoe.
Pic attaches of wiring.
Thanks!!!

You might could use a PAC-TR4 remote trigger.

I used one so that when I turn off my stock head unit the amp turns off. Also if I hit the speaker switch it turns off as well. I just used one of the front speaker wires as a trigger. I have preamp outputs installed on my stock HK head unit so I wasn't using the speaker wires anyhow.
I don't know how your aftermarket head unit is hooked up though. In other words, I don't know how that speaker switch is functioning now.

yeah, that was what I was wanting to do. I just didn’t know that since it was a 3 position switch, if it would work like i am wanting. Didn’t know if something would interfere with it.

If you remove all the wires from it I would think it would work. You could just check the contacts with an ohm meter to see which ones make contact when the switch is in the "on" position. That's assuming those wires aren't being used for anything important at the moment.
