I've not done as I couldn't find the switch I wanted from breaker so just stuck a normal rocker switch in. Use a fuse tap if u want it work on ignition.

Ah fair enough, i have had to resolve to this for now.

I took power from the cigarette circuit, so its always live, hence the switch.
But i do plan to get add a switch to the center console. make it look like OEM.
Just purchased all the stuff needed today. Got myself a latching switch, lets see how that pans out.

Yeah I came across these, just couldn't justify its price at the moment.
May get them later on though.

Your look amazing though.
I will contact them to see if they can make a custom one for me, with am amplifier image or "amp" written on it. For now, ill try to use the latching switch and add the blank cover on it and see how that pans out.
