    don't use the power wire.
    A switch would have to be rated at 100 amps to handle that, and a small little rocker isn't going to work.. you'd need a huge circuit breaker or something.

    use the remote wire.
    go to radioshack and grab a spst type switch and wire one end up to +12v and the other to the remote port. On my stereo I have the switch between the deck and remote, so I have 2 switches for auto/manual control if needed.

    on my amp anyway, it wont power up without a remote signal.. did you already cross it with the +12v lead or something??
