How do you add a power switch to it? Thinking on buying one but wanna know that first.

There is a fused link that can go to one side of a two terminal switch. Kind of like a light switch on wall. Easy stuff. Nothing complicated. Black and red wire. What are you using it on?

I just ran the power wire to the power on the switch then to the battery. It's easy. The system sounds great to. The speakers are really big. They were bigger than I expected when they showed up but they sounded great.

I have installed this on my boat. I connected the power source, the red wire, to an empty switch on the dash of the boat. I also removed an empty switch and installed the volume control. Great sound for this size, simple speaker system.

I would highly recommend The Boss MC400. As for your question, I hooked mine up to the License plate light. It comes on only when the power is on and goes off when I turn the ignition off. I guess you could put your own switch on the bike, I would just add wire and a switch. On my bike that would be a really easy job to do, but I am always using the stereo so the way it's hooked up works just fine.

I guess you could put in a in line switch. I wired mine into a source that comes on with the key.

Adding a power switch would be a good thing to do. I would just wire it threw a push button or toggle switch on the positive power line. Just make sure you also put an in line fuse on the power line nearest to the battery as possible.

I used my speakers in a boat and connected to the bimini bars. Usually there is a positive output signal from the stereo for an external amp. I would install a relay providing main power from the battery and trigger power from your stereo. That way if your stereo is off, the amp will shut down as well. For reference on the unit I purchased the amp did not work. I temporally have speakers spliced into my existing speakers and plan on installing a new amplifier this spring. Like the look and size of the speakers, just could not get the amp to work correctly.

And one outher thing. Just as the previous person mentioned. Wire it off of an ignition source of power so it also Gose off with the key. As to not drain the power. That's how I wired mine and it works well.

All you have to do is plug in power switch to wall outlet, plug in desired item to power switch, make sure that ON button is pressed on power switch, make sure that item itself turned on and then use remote by pressing the corresponding button (1, 2 or 3). I will check to see if I still have the actual instructions to check if I missed anything. ***8/5/13: Sorry --- did not find instructions. I hope you were able to get your devices going. :)

Hi Daniel: Mine got broken on first attempt to use it. It looks pretty neat, that's it. As far as I remember it, no, it does not have other way to power it. I think that the only way would be using somehow a 12v battery, or transforming 120v AC to 12v DC.

I used the enclosed power cube with wires and spliced the wires to a three-prong power cord. Match the colors on the wires of the power cube to the colors of the wires in the power cord. You can buy a power cord or just cut the end off of an existing one. The splice won't fit in the power cover supplied so it can't be used for this purpose. It's ugly but functional.

I am not sure how it works? It looks like to me it has to be hooked into a power source somehow. I could use some help here as well.How do you hook it up?

Hit the power button, it will go to standby. I don't believe there is a master power switch.

The only thing I can think of is whether or not your computer is on when you try it. Other than that, I don't believe there is a power switch,(you might look it over as you may have a newer version than the two I have).

I'm not sure why an internal switch would be useful (it would be inaccessible), but it doesn't have one regardless. Just the exterior power switch.

I have mine plugged into a power strip. I do not know if you can plug a power strip into it.

What a stupid question! Obviously the magnet that I purchased does not have a power switch. I consider that question insult my intelligence. No I am not happy with it no I'm not going to send it back because it's more hassle than it's worth

Make sure that you have installed it correctly according to the instructions. It's a bit different than the conventional. The blue wire goes to the light's black. The switch's black wire goes to the black wire from the power source. Both white wires from the light and the power source (neutral) connect to this switch's white wire. It has to be done exactly like this or it won't work correctly. It notes that the switch "cannot be used if there is no neutral wire (white wires joint together) inside the electrical box."

There should be either a switch or a knob on the one of the sides under the panel, it needs to be plugged in via usb to have power

I purchased mine as a spare and have not installed it yet. I looked at the hookup before buying, if not a link via the Amazon site, it may have been on the Grote site. Is very simple, but you do have to locate a hot wire that is ignition switched to turn the power on and off. Rich

If you want to switch the power, I would wire in a switched outlet. Then you can plug it into that. You can cut the plug off and hard wire it into a junction box. Though that cord is not rated for in wall use. As mentioned, the thermal switch is a nice set up.

There is no power button on the unit, you just plug it in, make sure to attach the power wire to the init before plugging it into the wall. If you have a way of controlling power to the outlet via switch/remote control or what ever it should power the unit on and off. But if it is off it will not automatically connect to your bluetooth device when you come home

Don't forget the power switch must be in the "On" position, I know the is stating the obvious, but sometimes that toughest questions to answer are the ones where the answers are right in front of us :)

I never used the switch. Mine works okay. You must have received a defective unit. Return or exchange it ASAP
